Recent statistics show a rising number of children identified as having special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
Inclusion is not optional; creating inclusive, nurturing environments is at the heart of what we do.
However, with limited funding and a shortage of specialist knowledge, we know how challenging it can be.
Join us for 'A week of Hope' from 27 January
Together with our Corporate Partner, Hope, we are delighted to share the incredible and inclusive resources they offer for nurseries to use to support children with additional needs.
Our ‘week of Hope’ begins on 27 January – we can’t wait for you to join us.
‘Supporting every child to thrive’ is a campaign carefully curated to equip early years practitioners with bespoke activities that can be used in an early years setting to encourage children with additional needs to thrive. From movement and maths and sensory sensation to mindful massage moments, Hope provides you with everything you need for a week dedicated to supporting our youngest children with additional needs.
Additionally, we know the value that parents and carers play in supporting and nurturing children with additional needs. That’s why we’re excited to share our additional home learning activity using ‘The Colour Monster’. Be sure to share this with your parents and carers!
Download Hope’s guide, filled with daily activities and top tips of how to use each resource in other ways throughout your early years setting.
