Early Years Private, Voluntary & Independent Settings

1: How does the setting identify children with additional needs or SEND?

I use a website called Baby Days to record the child's development and follow the tracker to identify where there are any delayed learning goals. I plan activities to help the child reach their milestones.

2: How will I be informed / consulted about the ways in which my child is being supported?

I communicate verbally with parents at drop off and collection, also through WhatsApp daily, any concerns can be raised through these channels of communication. Also communication through text, email, Baby Days website.

I always follow the EYFS appropriate to the child's age and ability adapting any activities to suit the child's individual needs.

4: What teaching strategies does the setting use for children with additional needs or learning difficulties?

I would discuss the child's developmental stage at the start of the placement in my setting with ongoing assessments, activities would be adapted to the childs develpomental stage in order for full participation.

Through observations, Baby Days website and good communication with parents and other professionals if required.

Risk assessments are done prior to any trips/outings, I would use any equipment required to ensure that the child is comfortable and re-assured.

There is currently no wheelchair access to my property, however adaptations could be made if required. I have downstairs toilets.
