Beansheaf Community Pre-School

Beansheaf pre-school has a trained member of staff in children with additional needs and SEND. The children are observed and tracked to ensure they are reaching their developmental goals. We work closely with parents to ensure each child is getting the right amount of support that they need

Staff have regular meetings with parents to ensure we are working together to meet their childs needs. The pre-school runs the online learning journal with tapestry giving parents instant access to their childs learning and development.

Beansheaf pre-school takes each individual childs needs into account when planning activities and will adapt activities to ensure the childs needs are met

Beansheaf pre-school has tools to help children with additional needs and learning difficulties such as picture cards and sensory toys 

Beansheaf pre-school works closely with other agencies such as the childrens centre and wellbeing hub along with the parents

The pre-school uses snapshot and extended observations to monitor a childs progress, these are recorded n line in their learning journey and used in the weekly planning to ensure next steps are achieved. A tracker is completed each term to ensure progress is being made, official parent meetings are held once a year but parents are encouraged to speek with their key-person regularly

Staff talk to parents to find out their childs needs and are discussed during planning meetings to ensure activities are suitable for all children. 

The Beansheaf community centre is fully accessable via ramps. The doors are extra wide giving full access to adults and children with mobility difficulties and wheelchair users

Children are fully supported into school or a new setting. Learning journeys are handed over to the new setting and visits are made with the child if required to their new school. Teachers and other professionals are invited to the beansheaf pre-school to observe the child.

Staff at the pre-school hold weekly meetings to reflect on our practice. Staff work with other agencies to seek advice where needed and invite them to the setting for support. Parents are always informed when this is happening and are invited to join us. Parents are informed when training is taking place and are welcome to participate.
