April 17, 2025, Scarborough News: Scarborough nursery recognised for work with children with special needs
NE England
A Scarborough early years provider is paving the way for inclusion after being recognised for the high-quality of their support for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). . . .
North Yorkshire Council offers the Dingley’s Promise Early Years Inclusion programme, which consists of 10 courses over five years aimed at boosting the skills of staff through training and shared information, to all nurseries in the county with children under the age of five. So far, 848 learners in the county have signed up.
Childhaven, which accommodates 67 children per session, is among those who have been accredited with Dingley’s Promise Mark of Achievement. . . .
North Yorkshire Council’s assistant director for inclusion, Amanda Newbold, said: “With an increasing number of young children with SEND in the county, it is vital that we support our schools, nurseries and early years practitioners with the training they need to offer inclusive education and development from the outset.
“It’s great to hear the positive feedback from those that have taken up the training so far. “We would encourage those who haven’t yet signed up to get in touch.”
