Answered Questions:- Are there any reductions: No
- Do you accept childcare vouchers: No
- How Do You Involve Parents/carers In Identifying SEND: Yes
- Having a good relationship with parents is very important and together we should know the child and quickly identify any problems. Regular discussions when children are dropped off/ picked up, all about me forms and the child's Learning Journeys and reports asking for feed back should identify any concerns we have together about a child's development. After discussing together we should devise a plan of action to help the child's progress and if other professionals are to be involved.
- How Do You Identify Special Educational Needs And Disabilities (SEND): Yes
- I will discuss with parents at our first initial meeting about the child's development so far. I will then keep track of the child's development in the Learning Journey, informing parents and the Professionals who need to know of any problems to assist the child in their development. I will keep up to date with SEND training.
- How Will You Help Me To Support My Child's Learning And Development: Yes
- When we have identified that your child needs extra support. I will plan activities to help, keeping you informed of progress made, also advising you of things you could do at home to continue what I am doing.
- How Will You Ensure My Child's Educational Needs And Well-Being Are Met: Yes
- I will follow the EYFS and record developments in your child's Learning Journey also taking into account recommendations made by other professionals involved with your child and working this into my planning. Working together we should provide the support your child needs.
- How Will Both You And I Know That My Child Is Achieving The Agreed Outcomes: Yes
- We will follow the EYFS and record the development in the Learning Journey where we will have agreed on a set of goals we expect to achieve in a realistic time scale. As I hope we have a good working relationship together, we will know that your child is achieving outcomes as we both know your child.
- How Do You Adapt Activities And Resources And The Learning Environment For Children With SEND: Yes
- Knowing your child I would plan activities to help your child feel included and use equipment appropriate to your child needs. I also know your child's development would benefit by learning from other children's play.
- How Accessible Is The Early Years Setting Environment, Both Indoors And Outdoors: Yes
- My setting has a driveway with flat surface to my front door with a lowered threshold easy access for wheelchairs, also flat surface around side of property to garden at the rear. We have a step out of the conservatory to garden but seeing any access problems we would place ramps to gain the access for wheelchairs or go around through front door. All toys and resources are downstairs and easy accessible for children, although toilet facilities are upstairs.
- How Will My Child Be Included In Activities Outside The Early Years Setting Including Trips: Yes
- All children would be included in any trips outside the setting, taking into account each child's needs. Risk assessments would be done prior to the event and any special adaptions would be catered for so all parties have an enjoyable time.
- How Do You Work With External Agencies To Support Children With SEND: Yes
- I would be willing to work with any external agency to support any child. At the moment children's needs in my care have only required Health Visitors, Children's Centre's and Schools.
- How Do You Support Children Starting And Leaving The Setting: Yes
- All children starting in my setting are treated as part of my family and as such their happiness means everything to me. We have settling in days where a child attends with parent then by themselves for short time and this is increased before the child's start date, during which we have gained lots of information about the child such as likes, what comforts them, daily routine so we can keep the transition as near to their family life as possible. Children leaving the setting are still like family and we still send cards on those special occasions and I even have invites to their 21st, such special times still shared.
- How Are Staff Trained Regarding SEND: Yes
- As a Childminder I have no staff, but I myself attend SEND training and updates.
- Who Can I Contact If I Have A Compliment, Concern Or Complaint And What Action Can I Expect: Yes
- I hope to have a good working relationship with all my parents and as such I would hope parents could approach me with any concerns they have, so we could work together to resolve it. Failing this I will have given parents a copy of Concern or Complaints Policy when they started, it will advise them if they cant approach me then to put it in writing and either send it to me or to OFSTED who will investigate further.
