Curriculum planning is based on observations of the child’s needs and monitoring of progress, helping children move towards the stepping stones of the curriculum ready for school life.
Children with special needs often learn at a slower pace, need more repetition and skills have to be taught through a structured programme. To support this, the nursery uses the Portage programme which promotes this type of learning.
When children come into nursery, a baseline assessment and individual education plan is put into place by nursery staff and parents will be made aware of all the child’s targets so they will have chance to support their learning at home.
As each child's disabilities are different, goals will vary and may focus on developing movement, learning, play, communication and participation in the activities of everyday living.
