Welcome to the Nest!

We are a joint unit comprising of two classes, the Swifts and the Starlings. We have 16 children between both classes with a range of different needs.

As a unit we work together to provide a supportive environment for your child to thrive. We follow a practical experiential curriculum with an emphasis on developing core skills in the following areas:

Communication
Cognition
Physical Development.
Personal Care and independence

The staff in the Nest consists of two teachers; Kerry and Laura.

We then have a team of Teaching Assistants and Healthcare Assistants who will be in class daily. These are; Karlene, Celia, Evie, Sarah, Ashleigh and Ellie. As well as our lunch time organisers; Christine, Jody, Jo and Katy.

Please do not hesitate to speak to one of the team in a morning or afternoon. We can also be contactable on the following emails:
