SEND and Inclusion Policy
As a registered childminder, I aim to follow the principles of the EYFS and provide an inclusive environment for ALL children and their families. I will do this by:
Regularly talking to parents/carer’s about the individual needs of each child
Talking to children about their likes/dislikes
Encourage parents/carers to tell me about family culture/religion/beliefs
Providing a wide range of resources and activities which will encourage children to achieve their potential
Providing individual support depending on the child’s needs, including any extra support needed where a child has a special educational need or a disability (SEND)
Focusing on the positive things that each child can do
Promoting diversity through activities and appropriate resources
Leading by example and challenging any form of prejudice
Providing resources which challenge stereotypical ideas
Regularly observing and recording children and planning for their needs
Sharing information with parents/carers
Seeking permission to get support from outside agencies where appropriate
Attending appropriate training
Encouraging children to respect each other as individuals
Regularly seeking parent/carer/child feedback to help me evaluate my inclusive practices and make changes whenever necessary.
As a provider I work with Devon's Graduated Response to SEND Support EYFS
