Foy, Patricia

I will support a child to the best of my ability, I would update myself with any information or skills I felt were needed and work with other agencies to provide the best outcomes possible. I would spend time finding out about the child or young person to gain the best knowledge of them and their circumstances to be able to support in any way that was needed.

I will monitor the child for 2 weeks and then I will be able to do a baseline assessment on your child and then follow the eyfs. Ongoing observations will inform me of next steps.

By tracking your child's development via the eyfs and tailoring it to your child's needs. I will keep you informed and you would be able to access my online system "Baby Days". We would work together to support the child.

I will support your child up to school age and help with the transition to school. Every aspect of a child's wellbeing and development is tailored for in the setting.

work with families and have been a Childminder for 8 years. I have my own family and experience. If I need to research any specific areas I am willing too.

I regularly attend Prospects training events as well as on line training available and keep myself up to date with Early Years information.

>My setting is inclusive for all children and we regularly plan trips and days out.

All children have free flow from house to garden. I have a large driveway with easy access to my property.

I will support children with their transition to school in conjunction with the parent’s needs and requirements. I tailor transitions to each child's individual needs. I use resources such as books, discussion and work with parents. I provide information for other settings with consent to ensure a smooth transition. I have links with local preschools.

If a child as extra needs etc. then I will tailor my setting to help them. I would ensure the resources are accessible at all times.

Once the child has been in my setting 2 weeks I carry out a baseline assessment from which I am able to then track your child's development through the eyfs. I would work with an Inclusion Officer or other professional.

All parents are encouraged to discuss any requirements / needs with me and we have regular chats weekly to discuss the child’s development. Baby Days is also available for parents to see a child's development.
