Early Years Local Offer response

Learning and development

Systems and strategies we have in place to identify children that may require additional support

A rigorous system of assess, plan, do review which is carried out by the Key Persons and overlooked by the senior management ensures that children that may require support are identified early.  A wealth of information is gathered from parents during settling in sessions that in turn informs our baseline assessments of the children.  Two Year Checks are carried out and any concerns are discussed with the SENCo.  ECAT forms are used to assess children's speech and language.

How we identify and support children's learning and development needs

Planning and 'Next Steps' are derived from daily observations of the children's stage of development and schemas. Through Cultural Capital questionnaires, parents are consulted regularly to gather crucial information about the children's background and experiences outside of nursery. Parents and carers are askes to contribute to their children's two year checks.


Staff use the Birth to Five Matters document to make professional judgements with regard to their Key children's development.


All staff are Makaton trained. 


The use of visuals for 'Now and Next' and choosing boards are embedded in everyday practice.  Staff wear key rings ensuring that a variety of visuals are at hand when needed.  The use of visuals have been particularly beneficial for children with Speech and Language difficulties, with Autism and EAL. 


We have an excellent understanding of children's Speech and Language development and have a good relationship with our Speech and Language Therapist. Many of the games that she recommends are now embedded in our practice for all children.  Our extensive and imaginative 'forest school' type garden fully supports children's progress and development across all areas of the EYFS.

Links we have to other agencies

We work with all outside agencies as and when necessary. The SENCo has been part of CAFs and has attended regular TAC meetings.

How we support children transferring to school

We have excellent links with all of our local primary schools. We invite all Reception teachers to the setting to discuss the children's development with their Key Person prior to transitioning to school. We accompany children to settling sessions at local primary schools where and when required.


We promote the children's independence, confidence and self esteem at all times.


We offer phonics workshops for parents and carers of children in their final year before attending school.

Support we offer regarding children's health and well-being

A settling in process that is led by the child and parent. The sessions are free of charge and are unlimited ensuring that the child is adequately settled before starting.  For all children, we display photos of their parents and other close family members in order to relieve anxiety. 


 All children have a Key Person. This nominated person builds up a strong relationship with both the child and their parents/carers.  The Key Person will support the child through all important transitions both within the nursery and outside. 


As part of our fees, snacks and tea are provided. Parent's have the option to pay for a hot lunch or to send a packed lunch.  All of our menus promote healthy eating. Children are encouraged to follow good hygiene routines. We promote Oral Health through celebrating visits to the Dentist (certificates), discussions and activities around teeth cleaning, book and stories on oral health and healthy eating. Staff engage in conversations at snack and lunch times about healthy eating habits. To promote good oral health, we encourage all children from 6 months to begin to learn how to drink from an open topped cup. We only offer milk or water as a drink. 


Children's Physical health is promoted by the extensive use of our outside space.


The children love to reflect on their achievements. Looking over photos with staff that parents have posted on Journey or sharing past learning in the floor book, helps to build a sense of pride in their achievements.


We have a behaviour policy that only promotes positive behaviour. Children have 'time in' with staff that help them to identify what they are feeling and co-regulate their big emotions. 

Ways we inform parents about how their child is being supported

Our Famly app provides daily updates about routines e.g. sleeps, snacks, lunches, milk. Parents and staff can message each other directly at any point during opening hours. Parents and carers are encouraged to call the nursery at any time if they would prefer. All adults feed back verbally about a child's day at pick up time.


Transition meetings take place when a child moves room. Both the existing and the new Key Person attends the meeting along with the parent/carer.  Parents and carers are invited to discuss and contribute to the 2 Year check. Parents of children with Individual Learning plans are invited to review outcomes on a termly basis.


Parents are signposted to a range of information on our Parents' notice board and on the Newsfeed on our Famly App.

Our complaints policy

Complaints Procedure: Stage 1: Talk to the child's Key Person Stage 2: If the issue is unresolved, concerns must be put in writing to the nursery manager whereby the manager will put in place any actions that arise from the concerns. Stage 3: If the matter is not resolved a formal meeting will be held with all parties present. Stage 4: If the matter is still not resolved then parents have the right to raise the mater with Ofsted. A full copy of our Complaints and Compliments Policy is available on our website and from the office.
