Early Years Inclusion Process

If you are a parent or carer and have concerns about your child starting nursery or school and you think they need some extra help, please speak to your doctor (GP), Health Visitor or Early Years Professional, about the Early Years Inclusion Process (EYIP).
You can find out more about EYIP on our dedicated web page for parents and carers: Local Offer: Early Years Inclusion Process for parents.
