Walton Nurture: Preparing Children for Success

Walton Nurture provides an intensive, year-long intervention programme designed to prepare children for a smooth transition — whether into Cavendish View or their next educational setting. Many of our pupils require support with communication and sensory regulation, with a number having a diagnosis of autism or associated conditions. We are dedicated to delivering specialist care and interventions that enable every child to thrive on their educational journey.

At Walton Nurture, we understand that every child is unique and develops at their own pace. We are proud to play a part in each child’s journey, supporting them to build independence, strengthen their communication skills, and flourish in a nurturing environment.

This year forms an important part of your child’s introduction to education, with a strong focus on involving key professionals to deliver personalised programmes. These may include Sensory Circuits, Speech and Language Therapy, Play Therapy, and Physiotherapy. We also work closely with parents and carers, supporting their understanding of their child’s needs and providing training in communication strategies such as Makaton, Bucket Therapy, and PECS.

The Nurture Way

The Walton Nurture team, in partnership with School Improvement Liverpool, has developed a bespoke, person-centred curriculum tailored specifically for our provision. This carefully structured approach supports children’s development in key areas including independence, communication, health and wellbeing, and understanding the world around them.

At Walton Nurture, pupil needs are at the heart of everything we do. By aligning learning activities and planning with individual EHCP outcomes and curriculum milestones, we provide personalised support that enables every child to thrive and achieve their full potential.

At Walton Nurture, we take pride in celebrating and sharing our pupils’ progress through platforms such as Class Dojo and Evidence for Learning. Progress and achievements are carefully tracked each term and shared with parents and carers, ensuring they remain fully informed and actively involved in their child’s development.

Our engaging curriculum is designed to spark curiosity, nurture relationships, and build a strong sense of self. Play is central to our approach, offering opportunities for children to develop social skills such as tolerance, negotiation, anticipation, and shared attention. Daily play sessions with a variety of resources encourage collaboration and help children practise the skills they need to work successfully with others.

A key feature of our Nurture provision is the safe, secure environment we provide, where children can truly thrive. Built on trust and routine, our setting supports learning through a blend of structured activities, sensory exploration, and ever-changing opportunities. Children are encouraged to take ownership of their choices — from selecting activities and food to choosing clothing for the weather — promoting independence and self-direction every day.
