Benson, Mrs Jacqueline
Services and organisations that have the Local Offer flash have filled out inclusion information, meaning that they meet the needs of people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

Ofsted Outstanding June 2018  NVQ3 Childcare & Learning Development  NVQ2 Teaching Assistant.  I have been working with children for 30 years and childminding for 13 of those years. I have an enclosed garden ideal for messy play leading from the well equipped playroom. We have lots of fun times outdoors, (waterproofs and wellies are a must!) picnics, parks, moorland, and woodland walks, as well as activities at our allotment.  We regularly attend toddler groups to meet and make new friends.  Children learn how to be resilient, independent, and preschool ready; also to care about each other and the environment through organised activities with plenty of time allocated for free play and using their imagination.
