Early Years Private, Voluntary & Independent Settings
Prior to starting my setting I ask all parents to complete an all about me questionnaire, this gives me a bit more information about the child before they start. I also carry out observations and complete a tracking system I do this from a system called baby’s days that is individual for each child. I also work closely with parents.
I will send messages via WhatsApp and baby’s days.i will keep track of your child’s development and should any issues arise you will be contacted informally or formally.
I will adapt by completing individual planning. Using observations to create tailored next steps. Adapt routines and follow the child’s interests, also getting advice from professionals.
I think about the needs of the child, working together with parents and all professionals involved with the child to create an individual educational plan. There will be tailored resources, tools and teaching methods.
I work alongside other professionals and regularly update training. I can help parents by signposting them to other agencies that can offer support and advice.
I run on a system called baby’s days that uses the early years outcomes to track your child’s development. I complete 2 year old checks when the child reaches the age of 2. Regular updates via WhatsApp will be sent to you. I also give ideas for home learning.
I have a wide range of toys that vary from all ages. I will adapt resources and activities to include all the children cared for. I risk assess trips and activities to ensure they safe for all children.
I live in a bungalow, I have a small step to my front door and some low steps into my back garden. All activities and play happens in my living room and dining room, all toys are accessible.
I prepare the child for school and additional settings by building good relationships, talking about and using books and pictures. Sharing informations and transition reports.
I regularly get feedback from parents. Put any problems that may arise into an action plan and self-evaluate regularly.
