Early Years Local Offer response
- Systems and strategies we have in place to identify children that may require additional support
We have a discussion with parents/carers before the child starts to highlight any concerns. We undertake initial assessments of all children. 2 year progress checks are completed with parents/carers. Each child is allocated a key worker who works closely with the child and their family.
- How we identify and support children's learning and development needs
By talking to the parents/carers and getting to know the child. We use 2 year progress checks and ongoing observations to highlight if a child is on target for the prime areas of learning.
- Links we have to other agencies
We are supported by the Early Years Inclusion and Improvement Team, Health Visitors and Speech and Language Therapists.
- How we support children transferring to school
We have strong links with the local primary school. We invite local foundation stage teachers to visit the Pre-School. Weekly visits are arranged to Wendron Primary school during the last half of the the Summer Term. During these visits the children will spend the morning in the reception class. They will take part in activites and get to know the teachers and school routine. The children, parents/carers are invited to stay for a school lunch.
If a child is not going to attend Wendron Primary school, we will encourage a visit from the reception teacher of the school they are going to attend. We also ask to visit the school with the child's keyworker.
Learning and development
- Specialist skills or training our staff have
Paediatric First Aid, Makaton training, Food Hygiene.
We have an experienced member of staff who delivers weekly music and movement sessions.
- Support we offer regarding children's health and well-being
We encourage children to be independent and get ready to start school. We help them to use the toilet independently,washing their own hands, putting on their own coats and shoes. We encourage children to make healthy eating choices at snack time and lunch times.
- Ways we inform parents about how their child is being supported
We offer regular meetings with parents. Staff are always available to speak to parents/carers regarding any issues with their child's progress.
- Our complaints policy
Speak with the setting leader. If not resolved put the complaint/concern in writing to the setting leader and the chair of the committee. If still not satisfied, request a meeting with the setting leader and chair of the committee. If an agreement is still not reached, an external mediator is invited to help resolve the issue. When the mediator has concluded investigations, a final meeting is held between the parent, the setting leader and the committee's chair person. Parents may approach Ofsted directly at any time during the complaints procedure.
