Special Needs
At Jack and Jill’s Nursery we have a strong commitment to children with special needs and strive to meet the needs of all children. We have trained staff that have experience with children with health, educational or behavioural concerns.

Starting Nursery
Parents and carers are welcome in our Nursery at all times. You will be expected to stay with your child when first being introduced to our nursery. The period of separation is slowly lengthened, until your child is settled and confident. The time needed for the adjustment will vary from child to child.
