Growing & Learning Together

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

At Early @ Highfield we aim to provide an environment inclusive for all children. We are committed to ensuring that all children are given the opportunities and support needed to achieve their full potential. We acknowledge and respect that each child attending our setting is unique, and some children may require individual support due to their unique set of needs. We believe good mental well-being is key to children’s success and supports resilience throughout life. Evidence-based research reinforces our nurturing approach and underpins our ethos.
