Croydon has a range of early years settings that offer extra support for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Some are specialist nurseries, while others are mainstream settings with experience and resources to support children with additional needs. 

Many mainstream nurseries in Croydon are experienced in supporting children with SEND and work closely with Croydon’s Early Years SEN Team.

These settings can:

• Offer tailored learning plans.
• Make adaptations to the environment or routine.
• Access SEN Inclusion Funding (SENIF).
• Work in partnership with therapists and external professionals.
