Find out how our team can help you navigate SEND services available to you and your child. SEND Childcare 1:1 Individualised SEND Support We recognise all children are different and we aim to support all children individually to achieve the best possible outcomes for them as individuals through p roviding inclusive practice and removing barriers to learning. Childcare Pathways (2yrs+) All children entering our nursery (at 2 or 3 years) are assessed to establish their learning and developmental needs. This way we can work with parents at the earliest possible stage to meet thier child's needs. Parents for whose children need additional support, or are identified with SEND, create a support plan with us using SMART steps. This outlines agreed outcomes for them to achieve with their child. We use the 'Graduated Approach' of Assess-Plan-Do-Review to ensure children receive the right support as their needs change and develop. The Graduated Approach Assess Clear analysis of a child's needs, drawing on parents knowledge and practioner assessments. Plan Parents work with us to create a support plan for their child. All staff working with their child is made aware of their needs, any defined outcomes, the support received and any learning strategies. Do The support plan is put in place and started. Review Feedback on the implementation of the plan and the child’s outcomes is carried out with parents. Deaf support Our teams are always striving to make our nurseries more inclusive and accessible for local children. Through co-producing a weekly drop-in with parents, carers, 'Flourish Special Education Service' and our team, we began to get feedback that there was a concerning lack of early education and care services for local deaf children. We decided to address this and in September 2023, we employed a BSL practitioner and have introduced a BSL friendly childcare provision at The Lloyd Park Centre. Our team and children have worked hard to use BSL and learn about the deaf community and culture. Children that had not experienced nursery life before and have begun to really excel in personal, social and emotional, and physical development as well as have demonstring higher levels of confidence and resilience. Funding We work in partnership with parents and LBWF to request the appropriate funding, enabling us to provide support that works for your child. Examples of funding: SENIF - SEN Inclusion Fund EHCP - Education, Health & Care Plan DAF - Disability Access Fund Find information on Waltham Forest council's ' The Hub' website The Hub DLA - Disability Living Allowance Find information on the governement's website 'Gov.uk' GOV.UK Please be aware that these links will connect you to external websites.

This may be as simple as signposting them to either our own internal offers, or to external SEND services that can offer more information. We can also refer to appropriate professional services where we agree with parents that their child needs more specialist support.
