Inclusion Provision
JOINT WINNERS: Butterworth Family Childcare and Education Team, Bury and Bellingham Community Nursery Group, London

Butterworth Family Childcare and Education Team, Bury

Bury couple Stuart and Linda Butterworth own and run Little Holcombe Nursery School and Tower View Nursery School. They take pride in the 'outstanding' settings' ability to meet every child's needs, regardless of language barriers, different cultures, physical disabilities or learning difficulties.

The team's commitment and dedication has been recommended to parents by many agencies such as portage, occupational therapists and physiotherapists.

Regular staff training is provided in areas including autism, epilepsy, gastrostomy and hoist training, and inclusive resources are purchased without funding or grants. Adaptations are made to the nursery environment to make sure all children can attend and maximise their learning potential, and staff ratios are increased to provide one-to-one care before statements are finalised.
