Answered Questions:	Are there any reductions: No Do you accept childcare vouchers: Yes Packed Lunch Required: Yes How Do You Involve Parents/carers In Identifying SEND: Yes Working in partnership with parents is key and we gain as much information from the parents as well as daily handover conversations and support chats. We recommend ways to support/assist the child and get parents feedback or approval for any changes or referrals needed. How Do You Identify Special Educational Needs And Disabilities (SEND): Yes Special Education Needs and Disabilities are identified by gaining as much information from the parent or carer as possible from when the child visits then joins the setting Regular observations and planning will be done alongside the child which will in turn any further support needed, How Will You Help Me To Support My Child's Learning And Development: Yes Regular observations are carried out on the child along with quarterly progress tracking so parents and carers can see their child''s progress and then have a follow up conversation with the Childminder to look at ways of supporting or challenging the child further. How Will You Ensure My Child's Educational Needs And Well-Being Are Met: Yes Along with the above tracking and parent partnership 121 support can be given to a child who needs further support due there being 2 of us working in the setting. We both progress track children and look at next steps to get children where they need to be with their development. How Will Both You And I Know That My Child Is Achieving The Agreed Outcomes: Yes Parents/carers and the childminder will know the child is achieving the agreed outcomes by tracking and discussing the child's development as well as discussing and agreeing support that can be provided by both parties and ensuring support is consistent. How Do You Adapt Activities And Resources And The Learning Environment For Children With SEND: Yes It is important for children with send to feel and work as part of a team as well as having 121 support. Every child is given the support, development and care that they need in order to achieve their milestones no matter what their ability or capabilities are. 121 support can be given at appropriate times and for appropriate tasks. How Accessible Is The Early Years Setting Environment, Both Indoors And Outdoors: Yes The setting is accessible for most needs. Wheelchair users would struggle as the front door and step is not adapted. How Will My Child Be Included In Activities Outside The Early Years Setting Including Trips: Yes Children with send would be encouraged to do/try all tasks and would attend outdoor activities along with trips with parental permission and robust risk assessments carried out by the Childminder. If a child had to be exempt from an outing something more appropriate for the whole group would be planned. No one would be left out. How Do You Work With External Agencies To Support Children With SEND: Yes As a Childminder I have the appropriate training and knowledge of the agencies I can refer to for support and guidance should it be needed. I would contact the relevant people along with my local authority to ensure the best care was provided for every child. How Do You Support Children Starting And Leaving The Setting: Yes Parents are offered settling in days after their initial visit. The child would then be dropped off on the settling in days and introduced into the setting and our daily routines. When the child leaves the setting, relevant information is passed on with parental permission to share information on the child's development and progress along with suggestions for support in particular areas. How Are Staff Trained Regarding SEND: Yes My assistant attends relevant training for her role as well as attending regular update and training sessions provided by the Local Authority. My Assistant is fully up to speed with all policies and procedures within the setting and most important see works hard to create special bond with all children. Who Can I Contact If I Have A Compliment, Concern Or Complaint And What Action Can I Expect: Yes Every attempt should be made to resolve a complaint if made or most importantly to avoid complaints been made. The Childminder will make every effort to respond to the complaint with a resolution if possible or necessary along with guidance from the local authority. If parents/carers are not happy with the response or resolution if needed they would then contact Ofsted.
