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.

Special Needs Support

Observations made of each child and monitoring their development. Support given where necessary,resources purchased or adapted for individual children's needs.

Verbal communication on a daily basis .Recording in a daily diary to be shared at home. Sending photos/daily updates via text/ email.

With a stimulating environment planning for each child's development through evidence gained from observations, meeting needs, adapting resources and giving support for a child to develop at their own pace. 

A two year old check and each child monitored termly in their daily diary.

By adapting activities/experiences.

Unfortunately wheelchair access would be difficult due to 2 small steps/narrow doors/hallway into my property.

By regularly talking to the child about their new school .Taking the child to visit their new school . Communicating with the setting and by having the child's records ready to hand over to the new setting.

By visiting my setting,arranging settling in sessions where the parents could attend to ease transition. 

Myself.

I have a complaints policy in place and I regularly speak to parents to make sure they are happy with my service.
