Early Years Private, Voluntary & Independent Settings
Description
I live in a 3 bed semi detached house in Whitley area of Reading.
I work with an assistant in a lovely wooden cabin in my garden.
I cater for all children
Updated August 2021
1: How does the setting identify children with additional needs or SEND?
I will observe children when they first arrive and take observations of their milestones
2: How will I be informed / consulted about the ways in which my child is being supported?
I will make observations and assessments of children's learning on a daily basis, I will share any concerns with you and any other professional health provider
3: How will the setting adapt the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum for my child's needs?
In my setting we have a play environment where we adapt activities of what is available on the day according to a child's interest and level of need.
I adapt the EYFS to offer targeted support for individual development interventions. These are planned and built into the child's learning environment in planning activity sheets and on the spot adjustments. In my setting we give you information about any other programmes we may use, such as the playing and learning socialise (PALS) I can also signpost you to other early years support such as children's centres, which we can use to ensure that we are working with all areas and facilities available to widen the EYFS curriculum to offer a varied range of development in all activities to cater for all levels of learners and all types of interaction in activities.
5: What additional support does the setting provide for children with additional needs or SEND?
The children learn through a curriculum based around play, then in our next steps we plan our weeks according to the children's interest
6: How will the setting monitor my child's progress and how will I be involved in this?
All children including those with SEND are regularly assessed and their progress carefully monitored. Progress is discussed termly at family parents meetings. If your child has an EHCP (education, health care plan)
I also use daily contact sheets, observational home and setting books, plan targets and learning journeys, daily photos and simple observations.
7: How do you ensure children with additional needs or SEND can be included in the same activities as other children, including trips?
Active, senses-based exploration of the environment
Self-directed hands on learning activities balanced with adult directed activities
A balance between individual and group activities
Regular and supportive interaction with myself
A balance between active movement and quiet activities
Ongoing observations and assessment
I include children by what is known about their development and learning, what is known about the strengths, interests and needs of each individual child in the group, knowledge of social and cultural context in which children live. This allows for a variety for each child.
8: How accessible is the building for children with mobility difficulties / wheelchair users?
I can adapt my home to help with mobility
We work from a log cabin in the garden and can be easily accessible for wheelchair users.
9: How will you support my child's transition to a new setting or school?
In my setting I will liaise with you and also involve your child in completing the 'Thing's I'd like to know about me' sheet. This will be given to the receiving school before your child starts to help them understand your child's needs and preferences.
I also help each child by preparing a photograph book about your child's new school.
10: How does the setting assess the overall effectiveness of its SEN provision and how can parents / carers take part in this evaluation?
In my setting I ask parents for feedback and suggestions to access the effectiveness of all aspects of my services, at every opportunity and offer a way to ask for anything you or your child needs.
I do regular training to improve the services I offer
11: Who should I contact if I am considering registering for a place at the setting?
Please contact Ann Riley
annriley26@yahoo.com
12: What arrangements does the setting have for feedback from parents / carers, including compliments and complaints?
I have a folder for feedback, compliments and complaints
