Examples of the provision for children with additional needs in Ballyclare Nursery School
Some children in our care require additional sensory support. We have a beautiful sensory area with a wide ranging choice of experiences for the children to use.
We use a wide range of support strategies within the classrooms in order to deliver the curriculum appropriately for every child who needs this tailored approach.
The Role of the Education Authority
If your child is due to start nursery school and is waiting to be seen or is undergoing any medical or other assessments for anything that may impact on their abilities in school, you may wish to make a request online for the Education Authority to carry out an assessment of their educational needs. This will then start the process of getting additional adult support in nursery school for your child if they need it.
