Dorset Council Portage Pre-School Support Service (PPS)
Dorset Council Portage Pre-School Support Service (PPS) supports children and families at any time from birth to the end of the first term at school living in Dorset. We work in partnership with early years settings. Children who use this service may have a range of educational or medical needs.
