Concerns

I would apprciate any advice any of you can give me reguarding a child in my setting. she has benn attending nursery for three terms now in the afternoon session and is due to join a reception class in January. She is 4 years old. I am concerned as she hasn't made any progress since joining us when she started nursery she took a while to settle and needed constant adult support. She comes into nursery ok now but still needs to be left with an adult, the activity that she settles at is where she stays all afternoon not joining in just watching or staring she talks to adults but only when they ask her questions the rest of the time she is slient and sometimes dosen't respond to the adults talk. She dosen't interact with any of the children. In previous terms she would just flop onto an adults lap this has stopped now only because adults have had to be firm and encourage her to sit on a chair next to them but she hasn't made any other progress or gained any independence. I observed her for 10 mins today she just sat on a chair even when the adult who was supporting her moved she stayed there she got up at one point then sat back down again. It is a difficulut process just to get her to move she dosen't play with anything. She is extremly shy and lacks confidence and has a nervous disposition when she dose move it's like she is an old frail lady not a 4 year child all bent over and really slow. I have never seen her run, rarely smile, join in, or find anything remotely exciting or interesting. I have expressed concerns to my superior that this is more than just a lack of confidence. What do you all think? does it sound to you that she might have deeper problems? I would love to hear any views you have as you are all highly experienced and professional people. Has anyone had a child like this in their setting? what can I do to help? apart from supporting and encouraging her as much as we can!! all advice welcome. Thanks
