Rachael Little Rugrats

During the week we go out to various groups, eg: Music Tots, Toddler Group and meet up with other local childminders. We also like to visit parks and friends. I have a variety of toys to suit all ages and a garden with a climbing frame and ride-on toys. I have 2 cats called Jack and Sally. I have an NVQ Level 3 in Child Care Learning and Development. I had my latest Ofsted Inspection in February 2023 and I was graded GOOD. Sorry I do not drop off or collect from school. If you require different hours then please contact me as I can be flexible with start/finish times.

SEND Local Offer SEND
Description:

How do you communicate with the parent / carer whose child has SEND?

Either email or telephone to arrange a mutually convenient visit. My details are available on the Poole FIS website.

How do you help children settle into your setting?

Parents fill in a starting points form & come for regular settling in sessions.

What help and support does your setting offer to children with SEND as they move rooms or move on to school?

I would use my observations to fill out a transition form when the child moves onto another setting/school. The next setting keyworker/teacher is welcome to visit my home to see the child.

How do you find out how each child likes to learn?

All activities are adapted to suit each individual to gain the best they can from it. Observing the child through play.

Inclusive practice / SEND training and expertise within this organisation

I regularly attend training.
