I have an appointment with a nursery nurse who does the checks at my local clinic. I've posted on here before about my 3.5 year old. His nursery flagged up some issues with him. They say he doesn't interact with the other children there and often goes into his own world, just sitting staring out the window. Anyway, the nursery worker for my clinic has offered to see my son to see if she can see any red flags and asked me if his nursery have done an assessment of him? Has anyone's nursery carried out an assessment like this? I asked at my son's nursery today if they'd done an assessment and they kind of looked blank like they didn't really know what I meant. Is this something standard that nurseries carry out? And what does it involve? I know they've been observing him and have referred him for speech therapy (his speech is fine - but they said it can help with other areas as well). But should they have carried out an official assessment (if one even exists)?
