SEND

Little Acorns Preschool offers your child a warm, welcoming and caring environment. Where we support all children with special educational needs and/or disability (SEND) to thrive and become confident young people.

We recognise all children are individuals and each person learns in their own distinct way and at different rates.

We nurture children to grow their ability to communicate, to share their views and help them become ready for the world ahead of them. 

The Special Educational Needs Co-ordinating Officer (SENCO) is responsible for coordinating the care and development of all children with SEND in our setting.

 This includes:

 ● Identify, plan and support for each child’s needs

● Training colleagues in how to care for a child with SEND 

● Working with parents to provide the best care and together develop learning opportunities for their child 

● Promote equality and opportunity for every child

● Liaising with schools to provide a smooth transition for the child and support their process as they get ready for mainstream or special needs school
