Early Years SEN Inclusion Team

About Us

Early Years SEN Logo - Children's drawing

The Team is made up of experienced specialist teachers and early years practitioners who work with children from birth to school entry who have special educational needs. We promote the inclusion of young children in early years settings through individual support within the home and through support to groups of early years settings and their Special Education Needs Co-ordinators (SENCOs).
