Early years education and childcare
In Haringey, there are many early years childcare options that can support children with special educational needs. These include children’s centres, nurseries, childminders, nursery classes in primary schools, playgroups and preschools, or an independent school.
You may hear these called 'early years settings'. You can find out more about early years settings and childcare in Haringey on our childcare and early years pages. Each setting has to report on its website their experience with children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. You can look up the setting's 'SEN Information Offer' to see what experience each setting has.
If you need support finding Early Years provision for your child with SEND please contact the Childcare Brokerage Service.
All early years settings must make reasonable adjustments for children with special education needs and must follow the Special Educational Needs (SEN) Code of Practice (PDF, 2MB).
