Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

As part of the nursery’s policy to ensure the provision meets the needs of each individual child, we take account of any additional needs which a child may have.
If parents have any concerns about any area of their child’s development please speak to the Supervisor or our school SENDCo. Any information given will be kept confidential.

Mrs Laws is the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Coordinator (SENDCo) at St Thomas Cantilupe. Mrs Laws can be contacted  on 01432 268400 or via email: KLSENDCO@st-thomascantilupe.hereford.sch.uk

Choosing the right childcare

You can find a searchable list of childcare providers, including childminders, in the Herefordshire childcare directory.

Before making a decision about your childcare provider, it is important to visit the setting both with and without your child. This will give you a chance to ask questions and find out if they can meet your child's individual needs.

You will no doubt have lots of questions to ask your childcare provider. Coram have produced a guide for parents called Five steps to choosing childcare which helps you to think about what to consider when choosing childcare.

You can also watch Pacey's video about choosing childcare for your child:
