Local Offer
- Description
I offer all children high quality learning.Meeting individual needs by observing children through play.Identifying their strengths and weaknesses and planning activities/experiences to support any weaknesses found adapting these to encourage a child's progression in the developmental areas needed. With support from myself and working in partnership with parents a continuation of learning can be done at home.
All children develop at different rates any early learning delays/difficulties is not necessarily an indication of a disability or special need.
By making strong foundations with every child and knowing each as an individual their interests, likes,how they learn and what they find difficult. Planning around this helps them reach their full potential.
