Crabtree Pre-School

We use a Graduated Response System of : Identify - Assess -Respond.

We liase with parents so that there is a two-way system of sharing information.

Key people observe their children and track development and progess.

With the support of parents, we may seek advice from external agencies to help us identify additional needs and SEND.

The child's SENCO/Manager/Key person will liaise with parents on a regular basis.

SAPP's are formulated with the above people and monitored and reviewed regularly. SAPP's are produced 2-3 times per year.

We aim to create and maintain "positive relationships" with parents by regular contact/meetings. In addition, we have parent consultation twice a year and child progress reports, two year old reports and transition reports. Staff are available to talk to parents every day when necessary and we have a private office to use for meetings etc.

We implement differentiated curriculum to meet all individual needs and abilities.

Each case is dealt differently to meet the child's and families individual needs.

Examples may include:

More 1:1 time with key person, modelling of clear consise speech, gestures/signing, photo timelines, visual aids and sensory equipment.

See above answer.

Any advice received from external agencies will be incorporated into the setting.

Observations and evaluations on progress made.

All children have current "Next Steps" which are reviewed and updated reguarly.

SAPP's may be put into place with clear, specific and achievable outcomes. (SAPP's are written by SENCo, key person and parents.)

All these methods are reviewed regularly with parents.

Evaluation and Risk Assessments are carried out on the activity and where possible we adapt the activity to suit individual needs.

Sensory equipment is provided where neccessary.

Extra help can be sort from Parent Helpers.

We are accessible from the rear of the building with double back gate and ramp for wheel chairs.  We have double back doors giving wide access area into the building.

Our building is open plan and on ground level.

We liase with the new setting.  We invite them into our setting to share observations, SAPP's and Learning Journeys (with parental permission)

We would support any visits to the new setting.

We monitor and review our practise with regular staff meetings.

We complete annual self -evaluation of our setting.

We liase with parents and encourage feedback from them.

We review/rewrite our Policies and Procedures and Standards annually.
