Settling In
We provide home visits for children with SEND. This allows us as a nursery the opportunity to meet the children in their familiar surroundings, where they feel safe and comfortable. This also allows us to discuss with parents/carers how we can best meet their child’s needs.
Children of all ages start their transition into our setting with a pre-entry meeting with the child`s key person. The parent/carers discuss their child and fill in an “all about me” document where we gather all the important information about your child, such as any complications during birth, extra support needs, allergies, likes and dislikes. This will enable staff to establish children’s starting points and plan next steps in learning from the initial start. During this meeting, your child will spend time in the room interacting alongside the other children and allowing the practitioners to get to know the child.
30 hours funded childcare
From the term after a child turns 9 months old to the age of 4 years, working parents in England are eligible for 30 hours of funded childcare. To see if you are eligible please see the short guide setting out the eligibility requirements for 30 hours childcare for working parents here: Free Childcare for Working Parents: Apply for funded childcare – GOV.UK
Families requiring additional support (FRAS)
Your 2 year old can get 15 hours of funded childcare a week if you live in England and you or your child get some extra support. You’ll get these 15 hours for 38 weeks of the year. You may be able to get funded childcare for more than 38 weeks a year if you take fewer hours over more weeks. For more information or to see if you are eligible, see here:
Tax-Free Childcare
You can get up to £500 every 3 months (up to £2,000 a year) for each of your children to help with the costs of childcare. This goes up to £1,000 every 3 months if a child is disabled (up to £4,000 a year). If you get Tax-Free Childcare, you’ll set up an online childcare account for your child. For every £8 you pay into this account, the government will pay in £2 to use to pay your provider. For more information please see the Best Start in Life page here: Tax-Free Childcare | Best Start in Life
The Local Offer
The local offer provides information for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and their parents/carers. It explains to families about what they can expect from a variety of local agencies, including education, health and social care. Knowing what is out there gives these families more choice and therefore more control over what support is right for their children. For further information on support for children with SEND, please click on the Doncaster Families Information Service link below.
Inclusion
Sunny Bright offers equality of opportunity and anti-discriminatory practice We ensure that every child is included and not disadvantaged because of ethnicity, culture or religion, home language, family background, learning difficulties or disabilities, gender or ability.
We are accessible to all children and families in the local community and further afield through a comprehensive and inclusive admissions policy. Children with SEND, like all other children are admitted to the nursery after consultation between parents/carers, inclusion co-ordinators and appropriate outside agencies, e.g. Early Years Inclusion Team and Social Care. The nursery manager and SENCO will liaise with the Early Years Inclusion Team to access their expertise.
A Graduated approach is in place which consists of the Assess, Plan, Do, Review cycle. If it is considered that a child’s needs cannot be met in the nursery without additional personnel and/or equipment, conversations will take place with parents/carers to assess current provision and funding to ensure we can continue to meet the child’s individual needs.
