Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Local Offer

Support for children and young people with SEN and disabilities

Flying Start Nurseries aim to provide nursery education and out of school hours care which allows all children to reach their potential. Many children will join the nursery with an unrecognised and undiagnosed special educational need, and we will act in partnership with parents to ensure these needs are identified and that each child is provided with support by the appropriate specialist agencies. With pre-school and nursery children, we are often the first people to have close contact with a child beyond the family, and we can be of great assistance in helping parents through what could be an anxious time. We welcome and accommodate children with special educational needs and disabilities in all instances. Your child will be monitored and supported by the nursery and where necessary outside agencies such as speech therapists, portage or occupational health. Each child has a key person, the child’s main carer at the setting. Discussions with you and your child will take place with your child's key person and the setting's Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators (SENCo). SENCOs have received in-depth training in many aspects of supporting a child with SEND. We provide ongoing training to our SENco’s and our staff where necessary according to each child’s individual needs. We endeavour to work closely with local schools in order to provide a smooth transition. We provide detailed transition information which is shared with parents at Team Around the Child Meetings.
