We will happily show new parents and their children around our nursery. We are very busy, so we recommend calling ahead to ensure that one of our team are available to spend time with you and are on hand to answer any questions you may have. If you decide that we are the nursery for you, prior to starting we follow our settling in policy which is aimed at ensuring both you and your child are confident that they are in the best of hands whilst in our care. As every child's needs are different, we tailor this to suit individuals families. As a minimum, we do two settling in visits prior to starting with us. The first one will last an approximately an hour. During which, you'll stay at nursery with your child and meet the team that will be responsible for their care. We'll also fill out all the paperwork, contact details, permissions and discuss our nursery policies and procedures. The second visit will be for two hours, normally over a meal time. We'd encourage parents to leave their child with us for some of or all of this time. You are welcome to call as many times as you like! If after the second visit, you or our staff feel that we need more, we'll work with you until you feel ready to start your child's nursery journey. We also use Blossom- a nursery and parent management app which we can share daily information with you. However, from experience we find nothing beats a face to face chat at the beginning and end of each day.

Your child will be allocated a key worker who is responsible for tracking their development and communicating this with you. This is done on a daily basis as well as termly. We'll tell you about their day and the activities they have done each day verbally when we handover. We'll also send you picture on Blossom and 'golden moment' any huge milestone. You'll be invited to attend termly child development meetings where we discuss the progress your child has made and what you can to do to support their learning and development at home.

We refer and work together with outside specialists including SSFS. We are also experienced in bidding for inclusion funding to support children with additional needs. Jodie has also worked with specialist support teams and imputed into EHCPs.

We have a team of Special Educational Needs Coordinators whom have received specialist training in supporting children with additional needs.

We are committed to the inclusion of all children at our nursery. We ensure all children are cared for and educated to develop to their full potential alongside their peers through positive experiences. We enable them to share opportunities and experiences and develop and learn from each other. We provide a positive and welcoming environment where children are supported according to their individual needs and we work hard to ensure no child is discriminated against or put at a disadvantage as a consequence of their needs. Each child�s needs are unique and we do not attempt to categorise children.

We are committed to working in partnership with parents in order to meet each child�s individual needs and develop to their full potential. We are committed to working with any child who has a special educational need and/or disability and making reasonable adjustments to enable every child to make full use of the nursery�s facilities. All children have a right to a broad and well-balanced early learning environment.

We undertake a Progress Check of all children at age two in accordance with the Code of Practice and statutory framework for the EYFS to support early identification of needs.

We will also undertake an assessment at the end of the Early Years Foundation Stage for any children that remain with us in the final term of the year in which they turn five, as per the statutory framework for the EYFS.

We will work closely with the child�s parents and any relevant professionals if we identify any areas where a child�s progress is less than expected to establish if any additional action is required. This may include:
Liaising with any professional agencies
Reading any reports that have been prepared
Attending any review meetings with the local authority and other professionals
Observing each child�s development and assessing such observations regularly to monitor progress.
We have three staff who are have received specialist training in supporting children with additional needs. Their role includes:

Ensuring all practitioners in the setting understand their responsibilities to children with SEND and the setting�s approach to identifying and meeting SEND
Advising and supporting colleagues

Ensuring parents are closely involved throughout and that their insights inform action taken by the setting

Liaising with professionals or agencies beyond the setting
Taking the lead in implementing the graduated response approach and supporting colleagues through each stage of the process.
