All children have individualised learning programmes with targets specific to their level of development. They also receive 1-to-1 input with staff members to work on their individual targets.
We work closely with external partners such as Speech and Language therapists, Physiotherapists, Occupational therapists, and Portage to set combined targets for those children who require additional input.

Hand in Hand is our parent / carer network which offers support to local parents and carers on an informal, friendly basis. We hold regular sessions where parents/carers can come together over a cuppa to network and chat about any difficulties they are facing and find support.
This is open to parents of children of all ages/abilities.
These are FREE sessions run by our Parent Liasion Officer Anna at Briardale House.
