How do you communicate with the parent / carer whose child has SEND?
The key person and nursery SENCo discuss children’s developmental progress and learning in person or via telephone or virtual meetings. We share written updates and we can also implement a communication book which goes between home and nursery.
How do you help children settle into your setting?
We offer settling in sessions which are booked in advance of a child’s start date. We usually offer 3 settling in sessions but can be flexible with these and offer more if required. We ensure the child’s key person wherever possible is present for these sessions. We complete and All About Me form to help us get to know the child and family when they join and we can ensure the environment reflects the child’s interests.
What help and support does your setting offer to children with SEND as they move rooms or move on to school?
We support with transitions offering parent meetings and child settling in sessions from room to room. We share information between settings and arrange meetings with past or future settings.
How do you find out how each child likes to learn?
By completing and All About Me form regularly and through the key person role. The key person will observe and get to know the child.
