The Child Development Unit (CDU) provides up to 8 places for nursery age children who have a combination of speech, language, social and behavioural difficulties. It is housed in the same building as the main nursery. The main purposes of the placement are: to use one year placement in an educational setting to assess needs and advise on future provision and to check on learning rate and ways of learning; to make possible continual close observation and assessment by multi-agencies; and to support parents to develop a better understanding of the different needs of their child and to involve them in the decision of future provision.
