Careful consideration is given to appropriate curriculum content. The nurture groups are an integral part of Enfield schools' mainstream provision for children with special educational needs. The LEA's advisory staff and educational psychology service support and train the nurture group teachers and assistants. Parents are regularly involved in discussions about their child's progress and attend informal sessions. Pupils are encouraged to take part in school activities including assemblies and playtimes.
Many pupils are able to function wholly in a mainstream class within a year.
