At Munchkinz we have a strong view on inclusive practice and we strive to ensure that all children regardless of their abilities are valued and given the same opportunities as their peers. The garden area provides good opportunities for children to develop their motor skills and learn about the world we live in. I thoroughly enjoy looking after children, watching them grow and develop and have looked after children ranging from birth to teens. The Key Person carries out regular observations in different areas of development, after a given time these are assessed and planning put into place for the child’s next steps in their learning journey. As all staff are trained in the needs of children with SEND thereby they can readily adapt their practices to ensure inclusion of all children in daily activities and routines.

The 2 main entry doors are wide granting easy access into the premises and as we are based on the ground floor, this allows wheelchair users full access to all areas of the setting, including the garden. We understand that as parents your highest priority is choosing the right childcare for your loved ones and it is one of the most important decisions you will make for your children. The Key Person is also the primary contact for parents, keeps them updated and shares information on a regular basis. So much so, that we have bought them all one each and bought some for birthday gifts for their friends.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. Regular observations are carried out each week covering different activities as outlined in the child’s individual IOP’s to help them reach their goals. I did find that it needed to be turned off and back on again after that happens as it won’t start feeding again.

These processes allow us to carefully monitor the child’s progress and adapt our methods if required. Located within safe/secure premises, we are able to offer great learning opportunities in bright, spacious play areas with access to an enclosed outdoor garden. Staff are able to discuss any concerns at any time with either the Senior SenCo or Nursery SenCo who then offer help/advice on any issues raised. Requires improvement - We usually re-inspect all childminders, pre-school provision and nursery provision within 12 months of the latest inspection.We have a separate Disabled Toilet and large nappy changing area, this allows for full privacy whilst the personal needs of the child are being attended to. Children in my care are welcomed into a warm/friendly and safe home environment with a separate toy room and spacious garden. Staff interact with all children not just their key children to encourage confidence and trust and this allows for children with SEND to fully participate in all nursery activities.

To ensure we provide a consistent teaching approach/methods within our setting to children with learning difficulties/disabilities, all staff are required to complete a course on Supporting Children with SEND within the Early Years.Parents are always consulted and included as part of the decision making process, as we believe that the support the child receives at home is just as important as the support given at our setting. We aim to give each child the best possible start in their learning for life whilst offering quality committed childcare and promise your child will be loved and nurtured with us. We conduct risk assessments as appropriate at the start of placement to ensure any adjustments needed to promote inclusive practice are carried out. How will the setting know if a child needs additional help and how do they keep parents informed, e.

For inspections of providers of childcare on domestic premises that operate regularly, we will carry out an unannounced inspection.

Visits are encouraged by school teachers to the setting and also for the child to visit their new classroom/school, this allows a bond to form early on to further ease the transition between settings. We are firm believers of development through play and this is reflected in our planning and everyday activities to ensure children are stimulated and challenged to reach their full potential. There are four different characters: Pickles the Pig, Kiwi the Koala, Chowy the Panda and Pepper the Penguin. Daily activities are planned to encourage/support children to explore their environment and play alongside their peers, ie offering low level activities.
