In September 2020, Petra's Place launched an additional service, a therapeutic nursery within our existing premises. In
response to parents' feedback on our therapy services and the desire for an early-intervention SEN (Special Education
Needs) nursery, we became OFSTED registered in August 2020. We have recruited skilled nursery staff including a
nursery manager, deputy manager and nursery nurses. Children within the nursery have autism (or suspected autism) or
developmental delay and are supported by staff on a 1:3 ratio, higher than recommended by Ofsted, to allow us to offer a
higher level of care within smaller key groups. Nursery staff receive regular training from our therapists, who often work
within the nursery with a child and their key worker.
