SEND Needs
We at Scribbles believe every child is entitled to equal opportunities and support to further their development and to combat developmental delays with early intervention. Throughout our settings we are committed to closing the developmental gap and have put in place intervention schemes for those who need it - including the use of sensory rooms in each setting, having an on-site SENCO and the opening of 'The Burrow' our early years intervention specialist room based at The Nurture Cove at Beacon Park.
Our Sensory Rooms
Our sensory rooms are an environment that has been created for the purpose of providing our children a place where their senses can be stimulated or provide a place for them to relax and have therapeutic activities to enhance their development. We use this space to create interventions on individual child's development and use this as a quiet space for children to calm and learn to regulate emotions thoroughly with adult support.
Our SENCO
We have a dedicated SENCO across all nurseries is the role is to implement and oversee developmental strategies in place within the setting and to monitor progress, while identifying any needs our children may have.
Our SENCO can be contacted via SEN@scribblesdaynurserygroup.com
