- SEN & behavioural support — using an SEN-informed approach to individual learning styles and needs (attention, sensory, emotional regulation, executive function); liaising with teachers/therapists and consistently implementing recommended strategies at home.
- School & nursery support — managing school/nursery routines and preparation, ensuring uniforms/bags/homework are organised, attending relevant meetings, and keeping parents informed.
- Play & outings — planning stimulating, age-appropriate play, activities and outings that support the girls' social, physical and emotional development.
