Learning and development

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

I would identify children that may require additional support thought the observation assessment and planning. I use a very welllnow online system called tapestry that not only allow all of us to assess it but the parents as well. This then creates a more holistic picture of the child not only in the setting but at home too. This system as so has a very good progress tracking which clear shows me and the parents where the child is. 

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

As said above through observing the child and building up a picture of them is the best way of identifying needs. I also use a keyworkers system of which the child has a better sense of belonging but in this environment we are lucky with a small amount of children, three adults the children receive proseional personal care. 

Links we have to other agencies

I have strong policies in place. I addend regular training to ensure I have the lastest information to meet the needs of all children effectively. 

How we support children transferring to school

We work closely with the local schools to ensure a smooth transition is obtained. They have regular outings and also meetings in the setting to familiarise with the environment and surroundings. I also complete transition reports to the class teacher on entry to school and I formation share what is nessary wit her the parents permission.

Notes

Trevassack is a magical, peaceful smallholding set between Garras and Goonhilly downs. We are opposite Trevassack Lake. On the farm we have a range of animals; Chickens, sheep, pigs, horses and dogs. The house itself is a traditional farm house which offers a good sized space for indoor play and activities. Our immediate outdoor space consists of an all weather patio (for bike/trike/ride on driving, sandpit and other activities) and secured/enclosed grass garden (which offers slides/swings/activity tables) and soon to be a big climbing area. We have a beautiful growing/allotment area and we encourage children to grow and learn about how we get our food.

Early Years Local Offer response

Learning and development

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

Frequent observation and open discussion with parents. Tapestry is used as our record keeping system for pre school children and available to parents to see observations, make comments and add their own observations from home. 

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

Through regular observations, next steps and termly reviews as well as general discussions with parents on a regular basis about any concerns or worries they have. 

Links we have to other agencies

Network support via health services and regular meetings with other providers in the areas. 

How we support children transferring to school

If available, we attend regular "learning together" sessions and we maintain a strong partnership with a lot of the local schools and child care providers which in turn helps us provide a strong supportive transition for our children. We have regular meet ups with other providers in the area which is nice for the children to mix with others in their potential year groups. 

Welfare

Specialist skills or training our staff have

* Makaton training


* Safeguarding training 


* Paediatric first aid 


and i hold a degree in BA (Hons) Human Behavioural Psychology Studies and a FdA in Children and young people.

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

We take great pride in offering parents support and up to date information from HPA usually in the means of leaflets/emails etc when they are available. We also pride ourselves in offering a balanced diet and encourage healthy exercise daily in keeping with the Healthy U5's.

Ways we inform parents about how their child is being supported

I like to have a strong communication relationship with parents, so we do a lot of discussion and feed back face to face at the end of the child's day. I use Tapestry online as a record keeping tool and the parents are able to access their own child's account and browse through the observations done and even make their own from home!

Our complaints policy

Our policy is to deal with any complaint directly with the persons involved, if it could not be resolved I would direct parents to my complaints procedure/policy (which is on the notice board in view for parents) and provide them with the necessary form.

Access

Alterations we have made to make our building accessible

We have a wheelchair ramp leading into the conservatory.

Facilities we have for personal care

Bathroom with toilet, wash basin and shower on ground floor - we change nappies in the bathroom or in our main room.

We have lots of resources in our setting, focusing on all areas of development which are suitable for age/stages of the children that attend. We are also able to access a wide range of specialist equipment from the local toy library when anything additonal is required. We regularly update our toys and add to our collections. 


We also have a fantastic outdoors area which features lots of lovely physical and sensory activities which offer the children many different experiences.

By using my wide range of car seats, pushchairs, walking reins etc to ensure their safety, trips are planned and risk assessed individually to ensure all children have a good time and and enjoyable trip.
