Local Offer: Early Years Settings

Clutton Playgroup The Cabin, Station Approach Off Station Road, Clutton, Bristol, BS39 5PE OFSTED unique reference number 133095 We provide sessional care for children aged 3 to 5 years and are committed to providing an inclusive and supportive setting for all children and their parents or carers, whatever their needs may be. Our Special Needs Coordinator is Sally Barter who is assisted by all other members of staff as we feel that the whole team should be involved if a child is to be enabled to take a full part in all our activities. All our members of staff are well trained and experienced, we all have current first aid certificates. Because we are trained in child development we would notice if a child was not meeting age-related milestones and would start to build up a record of evidence to share, firstly, with the child’s family and then, with the families permission, other child care professionals. We would work with other settings that a child attends to build up a complete picture of that child’s needs and interests. Each child has a key person who gets to know the family and is always available to listen and share knowledge. We are all aware that Parents are children’s first, and main educators and we would work closely with Parents and other child care professionals to prepare an individual plan for the child’s learning and development. Each child has a learning diary which is a record of their time at the cabin. This is available to Parents and Carers at each session. We hope this diary will be a twoway communication between our setting and the family. We are able to access specialised training and make changes to the layout of our setting if this is needed to allow full access to any child. We have ramp access to all areas. We have good links with the local infant schools and would make every effort to ensure a smooth transition to school.
