Across Leeds our nurseries deliver over 20% of the places required for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
Children with SEND add to the diversity of our nurseries. From mild speech delay to life-limiting illnesses we support each child to be their best.
Little Owls Nurseries work with health and education professionals to ensure that all the children in our care and their parents can access support around the physical and emotional demands of raising children with SEND. Our family services and partnership with health visitors can signpost to additional support and we are proud to deliver a holistic service to our children and families.
Our staff are trained to spot and support emerging difficulties. Although we are not a specialist service, we are recognised as one of the best providers of care for children with additional needs in Leeds.
We try to maintain a balance of children with diagnosed and emerging needs and children who have no SEND to ensure that children with SEND enjoy a fully integrated nursery experience which supports their transition to school.
