This week’s activities
Each key person will be responsible for designing
an activity based on their key children’s needs; however, all children who are
in on that day will have the opportunity to access the activity too.
If the key person is on holiday or off, another
staff member will be able to lead the activity in their place so that the
children do not miss out.

stage, the guidance we use to support our planning and practice, please visit:

Interactive Learning Diary
Don’t forget to check out all the exciting things your child
has done this week, on their ILD profile.
We aim to put at least one observation up per week.
Our Policy of the Week:
Admissions procedure for children with special needs and/or disabilities
Aim of policy
To make clear how we follow
admissions of children with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities
(SEND) in a sensitive and appropriate manner.
Points to consider
The setting is expected to
make reasonable adjustments in order to cater for and accommodate students. If
the needs of the child are deemed as beyond reasonable, this may be a reason
for non-admission.
Prior to a place being
offered, all children and their respective needs will be considered. Our
ability to provide appropriate facilities for the welfare of the child will be
taken into consideration. Also refer to our inclusion policies.
Parents will be able to see
what we offer all children including those with SEND on The Local Council’s
Local Offer website.
The local offer puts all
the information in one place, about health and social services, education,
leisure activities and support groups available in the area for children and
young people aged 0–25, with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
It also explains the additional or different provision provided for children
who have SEND. The local offer enables parents, carers, children, young people
and practitioners/professionals to see clearly which service(s) and support
across education, health and social care, are available locally for all
children and young people from birth to 25 years with SEND, and how and when
they can be accessed.
Childcare and Learning Group will aim to do this by:
The setting manager will:
- In consultation with the parent/carer of the child jointly assess the extent of the additional support requirement to meet the special need/ abilities of the child.
- Work in partnership with the parents to best support not only the child but the family.
- Where external agencies are already engaged in the care and development of that child, the setting manager will consult with those agencies on the extent of the additional support requirement and the appropriateness of the setting to meet those requirements.
- When the setting manager does not feel able to conclude her/his assessment of the setting’s ability to meet the needs of that child, the manager will, with support from appropriate professionals, obtain additional professional advice/guidance from the appropriate agencies.
- When a child with special educational needs and/or disabilities is admitted, the setting manager and Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) will:
- Agree a schedule of additional support with the parent/carer of the child to be signed and dated by the manager and the parent/carer.
- Allocate a suitably experienced key person.
- Review on a regular basis (subject to the extent of the additional support requirement but at least monthly) the setting’s performance in meeting the needs of the child.
- When a child with special educational needs and/or disabilities is not admitted, the setting manager will:
- Inform the parents of the decision and provide valid reasons as to why the setting is unable to meet the additional support requirements of the child.
Kind
Regards,
Jess, Charlotte and the South Hill
