First time on SN boards. My DSs SN are just starting to become apparent age 2 - his speech and motor skills are very delayed and to cut a long story short, we've been told by an OT that this suggests Dyspraxia. Anyway I've got him down to start a mainstream nursery in September but worrying this won't be enough and he will need more support. Anyway I visited a nursery today and had high hopes. They mix disabled and able children but provide extra support for those with difficulties. They are run by a charity with a religious affiliation but it is private (I think - you pay to attend anyway). After the visit I had just made up my mind to cancel his place at the other nursery and send him to this much more supportive one, when I received a call from the headteacher - who had been unable to attend my earlier meeting there. She said she had only just realised DC was from a different borough and therefore could not offer him a place. I am confused as kids without disabilities do not need to be from the borough to attend, places are funded by parents and the charity- their prospectus says 'as an inclusive nursery, children of all abilities are welcome' and also 'children who need additional support and to access the early years curriculum, will be considered for priority placement as soon as possible'. There is no mention of where you live having anything to do with an offer of a place - oh and not that it should matter but we are of the same religion as the school/charity. Can anyone explain how/they can reject my son on the basis of our borough?
