Rainbows Childcare Ltd

We have SENCO person who is responsible for working and identifying children with addtional needs or SEND. We work very closely with parents and other professionals to assist the child to achieve their best. Observations are taken and parents are invited to dicuss any concerns they have themselves.

All parents have a handover when they pick up their child. Parents are actively encouraged to be part of the ethos of the Nursery and Pre school. Parent partnership is very strong and parents will know in which area their child is being supported from their learning journeys and parents evenings, and daily handover's.

Each child will have their needs met through the planning at the Nursery and Pre school as each child has a voice. The qualified staff will see within the planning where a child's learning needs to be nurtured and developed. Through different activities and events the children are kept busy and become school ready by the time they are going to school.

Where children with addtional needs are in the setting the staff will work along side both parents and other professionals and will regard the information on the childs SAPP to achieve the best positive outcome for the child

Very accessible

We are all on one level and all children can have access to the garden.

The preschool has large rooms so access is easier for children to move around.

We have good relationships with the local schools in the area and have supported teachers coming into the setting to meet the children and see how confident they are and talk about being school ready (something we pride ourselves on)

We work hard in our overall effectiveness and working along side children with additional ;needs.

It is important that parents and carers have a voice with us and can fill in feedback sheets and talk to the staff involved
