Parents
Our Specialised Services in East Grinstead & Sussex
Nest Learning provides compassionate support and expert guidance for children who are struggling to thrive in mainstream education across the East Grinstead, Mid-Sussex, and Surrey borders. Our services are designed to address the deep-rooted emotional and behavioural barriers to learning, restoring confidence for both the child and the family.
​
1. Therapeutic Tutoring for Children Aged 5+ with Complex Needs
​
This is our core offering, providing a safe foundation for learning. We support children aged 5+ and deliver lessons from our dedicated space in East Grinstead, conveniently online, or, if preferred, by travelling to the learner's home address across Sussex and Surrey.
This might be for you if... you're a parent of a child who is non-attending, has faced exclusion, or struggles with anxiety, trauma, ADHD, ASD, or PDA. You may worry that traditional tutoring will only increase pressure or that your child's complex needs won't be understood. At Nest Learning, we see all behaviour as communication. Our tutoring is child-led and trauma-responsive, meaning the emotional and relational needs come first. We blend specific academic tutoring (including SATs and exam strategies) with therapeutic tools like Drawing and Talking therapy programmes. This ensures your child
feels truly safe, which is the foundation for any real learning and progress. We support individual children and offer small group tutoring for Key Stage 2+ pupils to foster social connection.
​
2. Successful School Reintegration & Transition Support
​
We offer dedicated support to help children navigate the complex emotional landscape of returning to, or moving within, the school environment. This is always a bespoke package tailored to the child's specific anxieties and circumstances.
​
This might be for you if... your child is ready to return to school after a period of non-attendance, or is moving from Primary to Secondary school (e.g., in the Mid-Sussex area). You may fear a relapse, another period of non-attendance, or that your child lacks the coping strategies needed for a smoother transition. Our School Reintegration Support is a compassionate bridge. We work with the child to equip them with inner strength and practical strategies, managing anxiety and understanding their triggers before they step back into the classroom. We also provide bespoke School Transition Support for those facing the move from primary to secondary, building resilience and confidence for the next stage.
​
3. Guidance for Alternative Educational Paths (EOTAS)
​
For children whose long-term well-being and growth lie outside of traditional school, we provide expert support in charting a successful alternative course.
​
This might be for you if... you've decided that conventional school is not the right fit, or you're seeking provision funded by the Local Authority (LA). You might be unsure how to structure a non-traditional education, worry about long-term success, or feel isolated from the education system. Our Empowering Long-Term Horizons service is all about clarity and aspiration. We inspire and support your child and family in establishing and achieving unique personal, educational, or developmental goals,
whatever shape they may take. We help discover pathways to success that respect your child's distinct needs and potential, setting them up for genuine, lasting growth.
​
4. Empowering Parental Guidance and Resources
​
Nest Learning actively supports parents to understand their child's unique needs and rebuild trust in the education journey.
​
This might be for you if... you're seeking compassionate, non-judgmental guidance and expert insights for your child’s emotional and educational development. You may feel overwhelmed, unsure of how to respond to complex behaviour, or distrustful of previous educational support attempts. We offer a range of accessible support, including Workshops, Webinars, and Masterclasses on relevant themes. Our support includes providing practical 'how-to' guides and frameworks, and fostering open communication about progress through regular session feedback. We gently restore your faith in the system by empowering you with deep comprehension of your child's needs.
​
5. EHCP & Documentation Advocacy Support
​
Navigating the complexities of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) funding and provision can be daunting; we provide clear, expert guidance.
​
This might be for you if... you need specialist support with formal documentation for SEND provision across Sussex and Surrey. You might be stressed about paperwork, unsure how to present your child’s needs effectively, or worried about securing the necessary funding (e.g., via the Pupil Premium or EHCP funding). We provide clear, practical Guidance on documentation for securing further support (including EHCP applications). Our expertise ensures that your child’s unique needs are comprehensively and clearly articulated, giving you the best chance to secure the resources they require. Our goal is to partner with you to champion your child and ensure their support network works effectively.
