YesHow do you identify special educational needs and disabilities?
I make sure my training is up to date, I also consistently assess the children in my setting through observations and get to know the children and parents which will enable me to identify SEND.How do you involve parents/carers?
I involve parents in every aspect of their child’s care whilst in my setting. If an area of a child’s development raises concerns with myself then I will suggest that we have a meeting with the parents or carers and discuss briefly my findings. We would then suggest that parents should involve the health visitor or AEN specialist.How do you support a child’s learning and development?
I share daily journals with parents and provide them with reports which summarise their child's development and progress. I will also share the child's learning journey with parents to enable them to feel included in their child’s learning and development within my setting. I have a child centred approach in terms of activities for children and shape them to the interests of the child, to enable them to reach their next steps.How do you meet a child’s educational needs?
I follow the EYFS and areas and stages of a child's development, I plan activities and find suitable resources for children. I do observations around the activities I supply, therefore if a child is having problems I would notice this.How do we know my child is achieving agreed outcomes?
I complete a starting point assessment when children start in my setting, I then keep track of their developments and achievements by setting goals and targets suitable for their age range. Through regular observations provided in their daily log I am then able to see their developments. The learning journey will outline what level the child is at, what they do well and plan for the next step in their development.How do you adapt for a child with extra needs?
This is child specific, and person centred. I would look at the activities and establish how it could be made easier or more accessible making sure that nobody left out or feels discriminated against.How accessible is your service, outside and inside?
Children can move freely between the front room and dining room and have access to all toys and resources freely. If there was a child with a particular need I would ensure space was available for them. I also risk assess daily the indoor and outdoor areas to ensure the safety for each child. There are 2 small stops on the front door to my home and again 2 small steps to the backdoor of my home leading to my outdoor play space.How do you involve children in outings and trips?
I would make reasonable adaptations for the trip and provide additional risk assessments, I would also contact the venue and find out about their accessibility if I felt it necessary. However, I would aim to plan trips suitable for all children in my setting.How do you work with other organisations?
I can contact and work with agencies who can help parents with their child. I would also support agencies to visit the child within my setting if they felt a need to do so.How do you support children when they start and leave?
I provide all children with settling in sessions and ask parents to complete “About Me” forms that detail information that might help support the transition. If a child is leaving my setting to another setting I will provide as much information about the child as possible to the new setting and also create a transition booklet containing photos of their new setting. I will also if needed provide and regularly read social stories to them to make sure they are prepared for their transition.How are you/staff trained in extra needs?
Attending regular SEND training organised by Oldham Council and other external bodies.What is your policy on compliments, complaints, concerns?
Parents receive a copy of my Complaints policy which provides them with all necessary information regarding complaints. Parents usually share compliments verbally or through cards. Communicating regularly with parents enables any concerns are dealt with promptly.
