Help from childcare providers

If you’re unhappy with the support your child gets, or a service you've received, learn about your options, including how to make a complaint.

Your child's childcare provider may be able to apply for funding to support your child with special educational needs and disabilities.

Most children and young people who have special educational needs or disabilities get the support they need from their childcare provider, school or college without an EHC plan.

Nurseries, playgroups and childminders can provide advice and work with you and your child to provide support with their special educational needs or disabilities.

Scans, checks and reviews can find out if your baby has a health condition, special educational needs or a disability.

Contact your child's nursery, playgroup, childminder, school, college or Amaze, our local Information, Advice and Support service.
