If you are reading this then you probably need a biscuit/cup of tea/coffee/treat of your choice. Feel free to make yourself one and come back. We at the NEST realise how hard it is for caregivers of learners who are not accessing the mainstream school system. You are doing a great job. You are good enough already. If you have your treat, click around and read some of our resources, testimonials and policies.

Contact a member of staff about your learner currently at or that you think would be suited to the NEST.

This is a partial page - we're collecting our twigs and building the NEST - check back soon for updates including:

• Specific caregivers form page
• Videos from other caregivers talking about their experiences with the NEST

I was not expecting, just how many life skills I would learn, how much I would grow as an individual, and how much I would look up to Joy and Aoife. They are both role models.
