Siena never thought she'd be taking lessons in communication and confidence from a three-year-old.
She is part of a scheme that pairs teenagers with toddlers from a local nursery in a bid to help increase school attendance and engagement.
The 13-year-old says she had a "lot of anxiety" so would never be in school, but "coming here has taught me more about how to communicate and be more confident and it's funny a toddler is teaching us things."
While she didn't think the project would help increase her attendance, it has actually more than doubled.
"It's really helped me," she says. "The toddler I'm paired with has grown so much and it makes me so happy to see," she tells the BBC's Morning Live.
