At Inwood we have a nursery SENDCO (Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator) that has been trained through the local authority and internally to support the key person, child, families to ensure that the child’s individual needs are met. We have a clear policies and procedures in place, which we review regularly to ensure that our resources and environments are suitable and accessible for all. Each child will have a clear education and development plan drawn up by their key person, SENDCO and nursery manager who will work closely with the child to differentiate resources, experiences and activities to support each child’s development needs.
The SENDCO will liaise with other professional (with the parent’s consent) such as Early Years Inclusion Officers, Speech and Language Therapists and Health Visitors to gain further advice in supporting each individual child. The SENDCO and the key person will work collaboratively to ensure that these targets and strategies are implemented. The plans and activities will be reviewed by the key person, SENDCO and the parents regularly to update plans and provide support for all children.
