Peekaboo Childcare (Torquay) Limited is a day nursery aiming to provide high quality care and education to children aged 6 months-5 years. We believe in giving every child the opportunity to reach their full potential whilst feeling safe and secure.
We offer sessional day care Monday – Friday term time 7:45am – 5:30pm. We offer morning, afternoon or all day sessions. We accept all funding and childcare vouchers. We are as flexible as possible with session times.
We are an open plan nursery with easy access to an outside area.
We are an inclusive setting for any child aged 6 months -5 years. We follow all guidelines set out in the Equalities Act 2010. We offer home visits and settling sessions for all new children so that the child’s key worker can discuss with the parent’s how we can meet all their child’s needs. We will seek advice and support from outside agencies for children with medical or more specific learning needs.
Peekaboo Childcare works in partnership with parents/carers and other significant adults working with the child. Observation and assessment will take place using a range of tools selected specifically to reflect individual needs. The Early Years Foundation stage Outcomes will be used as one of the standard measures, to identify an individual child’s progress in their learning and development.
Following the Graduated Approach of ‘Assess, Plan, Do and Review’ laid out in the SEND Code of Practice 2014, we will record agreed targets for the individual child along with assessments and records of progress. We will seek advice from outside agencies if needed.
Advice and signposting for families/carers around the individual child’s needs is also given.
In some cases, we will make a referral to other agencies to gain appropriate assessment and support for the child and family.
When children start at Peekaboo Childcare, they are allocated a Key Worker who will form a relationship with the child and their parents/carer. This relationship will be based upon face to face conversations had daily about the needs and development of the child. If the key worker seeks advice from outside agencies, the parents will be consulted at all stages. All next steps will be shared with parents through electronic learning journeys.
The child’s views, preferences and best interests will always be put at the centre of future plans. Staff will collect these through observations, conversations, sharing their learning journeys and next steps.
Each term, there will be a parents’ evening where all observations, assessments and next steps are shared with parents.
Peekaboo Childcare will use evidence based strategies of support that specifically meet the needs of the individual child and their family. Teaching and learning are set in the context of the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum that is carried out in all early years settings in Torbay.
Once an agreed strategy is chosen, individual SMART (specific, measureable, achievable, relevant, time bound) targets are planned together and then carried out by practitioners and parents/carers on a daily basis at home and at nursery to support the child’s learning and development.
We are an early years setting that offers a broad and balanced Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum. This can be adapted to meet any child’s needs and staff will seek support from outside agencies if needed.
Where appropriate we will seek help from the Early Years Advisory Team to support our practitioners with differentiating the curriculum, the learning environment and adult/child interactions to meet individual children’s additional needs.
Peekaboo Childcare will seek advice from the Early Years Advisory Team and use the SEND Code of Practice 2014, to ensure that each child receives everything they need to develop, learn and reach their full potential.
Private day care payments as well as government funding childcare places.
If it is appropriate, government funding to support the individual child to access care at our setting is available. We are able to make a request for funding for support by clearly identifying what additional and different activities are needed to successfully include individual children.
Parents/carers are encouraged to contribute to this process.
We can seek bespoke training from the Early Years Advisory Team to help our practitioners meet the needs of all children.
Individual children’s personal, social and emotional developmental needs in the early years can be supported through the Foundation Stage Curriculum.
Practitioners also promote the use of specific programmes of support such as Thrive ftc.
At Peekaboo Childcare, practitioners work closely with parents to make all transitions as smooth as possible. We make links with local schools and other early years settings and share information on the child transferring, with parents consent.
The parents/carers are invited to plan jointly for meetings and share information about their child with the receiving setting.
Peekaboo Childcare will work in collaboration with all other Children’s Services and will endeavour to ensure that children and families receive the most appropriate and timely intervention that they need.
We offer regular outings to local parks.
Regular assessments to identify needs and monitor progress is carried out jointly with parents/carers, practitioners and outside agencies involved. The Early Years Outcomes are one of the tools that will be used as a benchmark to monitor young children’s learning and development.
Together we will agree the next steps. An individual child’s views, preferences and best interests will always be put at the centre of future plans.
Parents get the chance to speak on a daily basis with the child’s key worker.
Parents can see and contribute to the child’s electronic learning journey, leaving comments for practitioners on assessments made and helping to build a fuller picture of the child.
We meet with parents termly to discuss children’s learning and development.
The Advisory Teacher for Early Years inclusion offers training and information sessions to all the Early years setting practitioners on a regular basis. We send staff on these training sessions as regularly as possible.
Parents/carers and practitioners have email and telephone contacts and are encouraged to raise any concerns with management. There is a complaint form in nursery reception
