Description

I am working towards becoming a specialist Childminder (SEND). This is a  pathway that aims to develop childminders skills and confidence in  supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). I  have attended North Somerset inclusion training, and have a commitment to  attending further training to support the needs of children with additional  needs. I will have access to the Childminding Coordinator who is available to  provide support and guidance around meeting the individual needs of your  child. I will have access to a North Somerset Area SENCO from the Early Years  and Childcare service for advice and guidance. I have personal experience of caring for a nephew with complex physical neeeds for many years and this has encouraged me to work towards being able to offer enhanced care for children with additional needs and supporting their families .
