Ms Trudi Ellis-Mintern

I have been childminding for 27 years and provide lots of activities in a safe and welcoming home. My last Ofsted inspection I was graded outstanding. I have a large garden with a sheltered area providing lots of outdoor play. We also enjoy lots of outings to Toddler groups, seaside, woodland walks, parks etc.

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Local Offer

Support for children and young people with SEN and disabilities

As a registered Childminder, I aim to follow the requirements of the EYFS and the childcare register and provide an inclusive environment for ALL children and their families. I'm also required to comply with the requirements of the Equality Act 2010 and the SEND code of practice 2014. I will do this by: Regularly talking to parents/carers about the individual needs of each child. Talking to children about their likes/dislikes and interests. Encouraging parents/carers to tell me about family culture/religion/beliefs.¦Providing a wide range of resources and activities which reflect the diversity of our local area and further afield. Supporting each child through sensitive observations, regular assessment and individually planned activities. Using the 2 year progress check. Focusing on the positive things that each child can do. Sharing information about children learning and development-and providing ideas for home learning-with parents/carers. Seeking permission to ask for support from outside agencies where appropriate. Attending appropriate training to ensure I have the skills and knowledge needed to support you. Currently I'm working with the NHS speech therapist to help a child progress with his speech. If a child needs additional support, I will speak to the parents and ask their permission to approach agencies which will support their child, input will be made to CAHMS Dorset. I will follow the graduated approach laid out by the department for Education SEND code of practice to ensure every child receives the best possible care and learning development. A SEND guide for parents and carers is available from- www.gov.uk/government/publications/send-guide-for-parents-and-carers
