| We are very excited about our Nursery being involved in a
"Language & Learning" service, which is a collaborative
approach aimed at enhancing the skills of Teachers/Nursery
Assistants, identifying and responding to the needs of
children with speech and language difficulties.
The Language & Learning team will include a Speech and
Language Therapist and a Specialist Language Teacher,
they will visit the Nursery on a regular basis and in-class
support will be provided for all children to enrich their
language and learning.
This service will be part of the normal nursery routine and
aims to:  |
support nursery staff and parents in
promoting an environment for the
development of children's language and
learning |
|
|
enhance the skills, knowledge and
confidence of nursery staff in
identifying and meeting the needs of
children with speech, language, motor
and/or sensory difficulties |
|
|
address the speech and language needs
of identified individual children through
speech and language therapy in the nursery |
|
|
enhance joint-working relationships |
|
|
provide training packages and resources |
|
|
monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of
service provision |
|
Parents will be consulted if their child requires therapy
intervention. Speech and Language Therapy intervention will
be provided within the nursery setting. |

Comments from a recent Education and Training Inspectorate
inspection:
"Positive ethos based on very good relationships between
the staff and the children. The staff are caring and supportive
and the children show high levels of confidence and
self-esteem."
"The staff create an attractive and stimulating learning
environment both indoors and outdoors."
"Particular strengths within the nursery include the
promotion of the children's personal, social and emotional
development; the children's confident use of materials and
tools to express their own creative ideas; the development of
the children's oral language; the wide range of activities
provided outdoors; and the many good experiences that foster
investigation and an awareness of the environment."
"The staff's involvement in the play is always caring and
sensitive. The nursery assistants work as an integral part of
the staff team and contribute to the effective adult
interactions within each room."
"The staff have worked hard to develop the written
planning to ensure a broad and balanced curriculum."
"Effective links have been developed with the parents."
"The nursery admits a significant number of children with
special educational needs. The staff demonstrate a strong
commitment to the integration of these children and liaise
effectively with parents and other professionals in order to
meet their needs."
"All of the staff work well as a team and contribute to
the good quality of the provision."
"The needs of the children are being well met." |
