How does the early year's provision identify and assess children with special educational needs and disabilities?

How does the early year's provision identify and assess children with special educational needs and disabilities?

We pride ourselves on our Key Person/child relationships. The Key Person builds firm bonds with your child helping them feel safe and secure in their new environment. It is this early attachment that will allow the child the confidence to learn. It is through their partnership with you as parents and carers that the Key Person gets to know your child understand their needs, preferences and routines. This information then informs assessment and planning for your child’s next steps.

The assessment of your child’s progress throughout the Early Years Foundation Stage is essential in identifying his/her strengths alongside areas where additional support maybe needed. For example, it may be necessary to offer them different opportunities or use alternative approaches to learning with measurable outcomes.

We adopt a graduated approach based on a continuous cycle of four stages of action:

  • Assess
  • Plan
  • Do
  • Review

We monitor the progress children make through observations and appropriate planning and note areas that may need developing.
