Local Offer - SEND
How we support SEND!
We welcome all children into our pre-school. For children with SEND, we will work closely with parents before they start to ensure we can support them and make suitable adjustments within our setting which will ensure they are able to access each activity on offer ensuring they feel valued.
Admissions for children with additional needs will be given after consultation with parents/carers to ensure we can work together to give the child as much support as possible.
If it is felt that a child will need outside support/specialist equipment, we will work closely with the family and our Inclusion Development Officer to ensure we can provide for that child. If a child needs extra time to settle and become accustomed to the routine, we may reduce hours temporarily. This will be reviewed with parents after two weeks with the goal of returning the child to their full hours. If after this time it is felt the child still needs a reduced timetable we will continue to review every two weeks until the child is ready.
Our key-person system enables us to work closely with each child, observing them, assessing them and planning for their needs. We record their progress in their online learning journey . These records are available to parents at all times and act as a two-way communication system.
We have a named Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) who is responsible for ensuring all staff understand and implement our SEND policy and together with parents/carers we will be able to ensure a smooth settling in for each child. We also welcome visits from external support services including health visitors, advisory teachers, speech therapists and local authority advisors which will support children further and give us professional advice. All staff attend regular SEND networks to ensure we are aware of current guidelines/policies. All staff are aware of the principles of the Code of Practise as set out by the Department for Education. Our S.E.N.C.O (Special Educational Needs Co-Ordinator) is Eloise and Linda Reviewed sept 23
