Pre-schools in Sutton

Pre-school staff are highly skilled and work closely with multi-agency partners, such as:

  • Health Visitors
  • Speech and Language Therapists
  • Community Paediatricians
  • specialist teams like Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy

This is to make sure that your child’s needs are met and are able to make good progress alongside their peers.

All our pre-schools are inclusive and nurturing. You can get support if your child has additional or complex needs.
