Early Years Local Offer response
- Systems and strategies we have in place to identify children that may require additional support
I do regular observations on the children while they are playing to see where they are developmentally in each area of development. from these observations I can spot if there are any gaps in their development and it enables me to give any extra support when needed. I use these observations to plan the childs next steps.
- How we identify and support children's learning and development needs
I do observations on each child to assess where they are developmentally in each area of their development
- Links we have to other agencies
I have links with the local health visitor team. i have had speech therapist visit the setting.
- How we support children transferring to school
I try to ensure that every child is ready for school by promoting independence for example putting on coats and shoes toileting and hand washing as well as social skills that they will need at school. we visit our local school daily and also attend school functions when possible to get the children familiar with the school. We talk about school in the setting.

I have policies and procedures in place and I keep parents updated on the topics that we are working on in order that they can discuss it with their children at home and I suggest activities to extend their learning at home.

I have a complaints policy in place setting out how to complain if required.
