Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Local Offer
- Support for children and young people with SEN and disabilities
At Milborne Ladybirds we pride ourselves in being a fully inclusive preschool where all children engage together and learn through play. We have experienced adults who have attended Communication, Behaviour and Inclusion training. If specialised training is needed eg Signing or use of Epipen staff attend training. We work closely with other professionals, eg. Speech Therapists, Physiotherapists and Portage who have all visited the preschool. Where special programmes are provided the SENDCo ensures these are included in sessions. Ladybirds operate a key person system providing a point of contact. We have a small staff team who work together to get to know all children. Then if the key person is not available the individual child’s needs are known and catered for. We consider it good practice for a child to work with more than one adult so that a dependency is not built that makes transferring to school difficult. An individual transition to school is arranged whenever additional support will be needed; this includes family meetings, visits from the teacher and assistant and visual prompts. Our premises is on one level with a car park. We have a large toilet cubicle which caters for wheelchair users and space for changing children. We include children who wear nappies and support them in toilet training. We will seek additional equipment when possible. Eg, Occupational Therapy have supplied a chair for a small child to access table top activities. ¦For more information contact Liz on 07771 512427 or email liz@milborneladybirds.com
