Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (S.E.N.D)


Updated 14/08/2014.

 As a Registered Childminder, I aim to follow the requirements of the EYFS (2014) and the Childcare Register (2012) and provide an inclusive environment for ALL Children and their families. I am also required to comply with the requirements of the Equality Act 2010 and the SEND (Special Educational Needs Disabilities) Code of Practice 2014.

I will do this by:

·         Regularly talking to Parents/Carers about the individual needs of each Child

·         Talking to Children about their likes/dislikes and interests

·         Encouraging Parents/Carers to tell me about family culture/religion/beliefs

·         Providing a wide range of resources and activities which reflect the diversity of our local area and further afield

·         Supporting each Child through sensitive observation, regular assessment and individually planned activities to
          achieve their full potential

·         Providing individual support depending on the Childs needs

·         Using the 2 year progress check to highlight if I believe a Child is falling behind in any of the Prime Areas of learning

·         Focusing on the positive things that each Child can do

·         Leading by example and challenging any kind of prejudice

·         Providing resources which challenge stereotypical ideas

·         Sharing information about Children's learning & development and providing ideas for home learning 
           with Parents/Carers as required by the EYFS

·         Seeking permission to ask for support from outside agencies where appropriate

·         Attending appropriate training to ensure I have the skills and knowledge needed to support Children and their families

·         Encouraging Children to respect each other as individuals


I welcome your feedback on my service at any time and am happy to discuss my policies verbally, or provide them in a different format for you if you wish.

If I believe a Child needs additional support, I will speak to Parents/Carers and ask permission to approach agencies which will support their Child. I will follow the graduated approach laid out in the Department for Education SEND Code of Practice to ensure every Child receives the best possible care & learning development.
