By ensuring that everything is in place for their needs and if necessary look for outside help such as speech therapist or specialist toys.

By talking with parents and other carers and working in partnership with them.

With good communications, by keeping their Journals and good observations and diaries, working in partnership with parents and carers . working within the E.Y.F.S.

As a childminder I work on my own therefore the support will come mainly from myself and from you as parent / carer.

attend local groups and have a strong network of support from other childminders which offer various recourses and activities to help children with their learning and development promoting social skills through play. I can also get other support from Prospect, SENCO and Local Authority.

My training is updated regularly for the different aspects of the children in my care for their welfare and learning and development, To keep me up to date with new things and changes going on and to enhance my skills as a professional so I can support your children in the best possible way, I have a NVQ level3 in child welfare and development, paediatric first aid, safe guarding level 3 Makaton stage 1.

>I have an inclusion policy, and will include children in everything I do, I may need to ask for extra help or recourses from yourself, or other agencies, depending on the SEN.

I have a small step up to the front porch then a second into the house , my playroom is a large open planned room with easy access to downstairs toilet.

I will ask you as a parent carer to complete a all about me booklet, this will help me to get to know your child’s likes, dislikes, family favourite toys songs etc so transition is easier. By encouraging them to mix with other children, to be able to make choices for themselves and build on social skills.

All children are individuals, and I would look at needs and how best to meet them. I may need to call on other agencies or childminders for recourses or you as a parent.

I would get together with parents carers and any other teams already in place for your child so we can work together in partnership, putting in place the best support needed.

I always welcome parents input into my setting, I have a working with parents policy I will involve parents in any activity or play their child is showing great interest in I encourage children to display their work so they too can show parents.
