    Can't answer yes or no.:

    If the child is in the nursery of a maintained school, then it will be the school’s responsibility: s.11(1) ALNET.

    If the child is in a non-maintained/private nursery then the local authority bears the responsibility: s 13(1) ALNET. However, where a child receives nursery education funded by a local authority at a non-maintained provider, the provider should, where requested, help the local authority in the exercise of its ALN functions in relation to that child.
