WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PARENTS

The Nursery/Pre-school has an 'Open Door' policy to build bridges between home and the Nursery/Pre-school. It supports children with small group work and a keyworker system, holding regular meetings with parents if required.

Information and input from Parents is highly valued and at all times confidential.

 SPECIAL NEEDS

The Nursery/Pre-school promotes the welfare and development of all children enabling a child with 'Needs' the opportunity to progress and develop independently with the benefit of adult support.

Sheila Partridge is the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator wherein a child is assessed upon admission offering Review Meetings to parents, remaining available to all Parents/Carers by appointment, working within the guidelines of the Code of Practice, preparing individual observations, Play Plans, working in partnership with South Glos Support Team with the sharing and receiving of information, meeting the individual needs of each child within the setting.

 BEHAVIOUR
