Welcome to 'the little group'
A Specialist Nursery for Autism & Communication Disorders
'the little group' as National Leaders
'the little group' has an established reputation of some18 years as a national leader in the field of preschool provision for children with an autistic spectrum disorder and complex communication disorders. We are a specialist registered nursery and are delighted to be established in our new home in the West Wing of St Andrew's Primary School, Cobham, Surrey. We admit children aged 2 to 6 years with difficulties in:-
- Social interaction
- Communication
- Poor imaginative play and rigid thinking
Children may also have difficulties in areas such as poor attention, challenging behaviour and have issues with anxiety.
'the little group' method
Here at 'the little group', we provide services for around 70 children divided across the school year. Our renowned teaching method -'the little group' Approach - is focused on engaging and motivating children through fun activities that are meaningful to them, as children with social communication difficulties are often tough to reach through traditional methods of teaching.
At 'the little group', our children learn the skills to engage and learn in a happy and relaxed environment. We achieve this by fully integrating the disciplines of speech and language therapy and teaching into one very unique and innovative communication based curriculum. Here at 'the little group', we strongly believe that true learning affects the way in which our children think and understand the world.
"I think 'the little group' is excellent, one of the best preschool services that I have seen. I particularly like the way parents can rapidly engage in what 'the little group' has to offer.....the group is immensely supportive to parents"
