My daughter was supported in various ways, she had a one to one for support and to keep an eye on her every second. She had speech therapist working with her in school.

The one to one and in-class support has been excellent and she has made good progress with speech and play as well as taking care of herself.

My son attended the ICAN service as he had speech delay. He has been helped throughout his time at Pound Park and his speech is so much better thanks to the nursery.

The school gave hope when I was lost and they were very supportive of all the point regarding my child communication social involvement and the teachers and school office members are always helpful anytime.
