I have completed the childminder course and am a qualified childminder. I have also finished all the mandatory training including QNUK Level 3 in Paediatric First Aid and Food Hygiene, all relevant childminding training, Designated Safeguarding Lead training and Home Based Childcare award. I have also completed the course Promoting Positive Behaviour, Supporting Early Language Development, Understanding Anaphylaxis and Understanding Asthma. I am a happy, patient, tolerant resilient and active mother of two children (13 and 11). I provide a fun, active, and relaxed atmosphere where children interact and improve their learning through play. Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood, for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child's soul. The playing child advances towards new stages of mastery.   I operate a multilingual setting to support Early Language Development in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Malay. Scientists from King's College, London found that the brain scans looked at a substance called 'myelin'- the insulation that develops from birth within the circuitry of the brain and found out that the distribution of myelin is fixed from the age of four, suggesting that the brain is more flexible and open to change in very early life. Brain circuitry would also explain why supporting children as they become bilingual is most effective when they are very young. The early years are the prime for children to learn and grow under the encouragement of their family, carers, and friends. The types of brain development in children include visual and auditing development, language development, physical and motor development emotional and social development. Alice's Childminding provides a homely safe environment with constant attention. More adult attention is seen to impact a child's childhood, creativity, confidence, independence, and self-esteem. I will regularly attend a local playgroup/ childminder group, library, a nearby playground/park and the beach. I offer a large variety of activities and help with homework if needed. I will use various materials which reflect different religious and cultural needs to support British Values. Healthy eating is crucial for children's development. I provide homemade healthy food, fruits, and snacks for all children and follow the guidance of the Food Standard Agency.I was an experienced primary teacher teaching Maths and Art in Malaysia.  I worked in a Nursery for a year in London.  I'm currently a teacher at Newcastle Chinese School for 5-6 year olds.  I have experience working with children with Autism. Please don't hesitate to contact me or drop me a message with any questions if you would like to come and have a look around and speak to me in person.

Castle Kindergarten aims to provide each child with a caring environment which is safe, stimulating and a very happy day-time alternative to home.  Our carefully designed indoor and outdoor space allows children to play, explore, discover and create in safe, secure and inviting surroundings.  We promote all areas of learning and development as outlined in England's statutory Early Years Foundation Stage which sets the standards for learning, development and care of children from birth to 5 years old. We do this through a planned and purposeful play based curriculum.  At the heart of our approach we have created an environment where children can express themselves, explore and investigate.  We offer a curriculum that is not only broad based, but considers the individual needs of each child, allowing each child to develop at their own pace and to follow their own interests.  In each room the experiences offered are appropriate to children's age and include both indoor and outdoor activities. Our learning environments are pivotal to our whole approach to learning and teaching; they are flexible so that spaces can be adapted in response to children's interests or lines of enquiry. Resources are easily accessible to children and are open-ended using largely natural or recycled materials so that children can create many different things in many ways. We strongly believe that the environment for children must be safe, warm, welcoming and calm; that the activity spaces and meeting spaces in the kindergarten are homely and nurturing; some areas have furniture that would be found in our homes and there are plenty of cosy spaces where children can come together to be with others or on their own. Objects, artwork and photographs from the natural world are displayed around the setting.Lighting and colour are also used to best effect to create a sense of well-being. These features will surround children within an environment that helps them feel safe and secure and encourages and supports positive behaviour for learning.  We have a large outdoor space where children spend a lot of time investigating the natural world around them. We work in partnership with Hylton Castle Primary School and have access to their wooded area to further extend the children's experiences nature.  Here at Castle Kindergarten we provide day care for children from 3 months to 4 years 11 months. We also offer funded places for 2 year olds who are eligible for the government's 15 hours free education. Funded places for 3 &amp; 4 year olds who are eligible for 15 and 30 hours of free education. Parents can either choose to use their full 30 funded hours with us or split it across two settings. Where the 30 hours are split between Castle Kindergarten and Hylton Castle Primary School, we provide a pick up and drop off service. We also provide after school and holiday care. This provider is registered for Tax Free Childcare.

Castle Kindergarten has a clear approach for identifying, responding to, and meeting children’s additional needs. We support and involve parents (and where relevant children), actively listening to, and acting on their wishes and concerns. We work in partnership with the local authority and other external agencies to ensure the best outcomes for children and their families. We regularly monitor and review our policy, practice and provision and, if necessary, make adjustments. Accessibility:Our building is completely accessible, with a sloping driveway and double doors throughout the corridors and entrance. The setting is on one floor, with easy access into the rooms and we have a hard gravel path throughout our outdoor area. We have an accessible toilet and the children's toilets are in cubicles which are large enough for staff to support a child when needed. Experience:Staff at Castle Kindergarten have experience in supporting children with:<ul><li>ADHD</li><li>Asperger's</li><li>Asthma</li><li>Autism Spectrum Disorder</li><li>Challenging Behaviour</li><li>Dietary Needs</li><li>Dyslexia</li><li>Dyspraxia</li><li>Eczema</li><li>Emotional Needs</li><li>Language Impairment </li><li>Oxygen Dependency</li><li>Serious Allergy</li><li>Speech and Language Difficulties</li><li>Toileting</li><li>Visual Impairment</li></ul>Training:At times, where children need very specific support, for example any medical support, staff will undertake any necessary training to ensure that the best possible care can be provided for every child. Staff at Castle Kindergarten have received training on:<ul><li>ADHD</li><li>Autism Spectrum Disorder</li><li>Asthma</li><li>Challenging Behaviour</li><li>Dietary Needs</li><li>Emotional Needs</li><li>Family/Parent Support</li><li>Makaton</li><li>Oxygen Dependency</li><li>Social and Emotional Difficulties</li><li>Speech, Language and Communication Difficulties</li><li>Toileting</li></ul>Supporting Children with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities:Each child has a named key person, who supports them and liaises with families. The key workers are supported by our Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo) and the deputy SENCo. The SENCos and key person meet with the family of any children who require any additional support, putting targeted plans in place that are outcome focused. Any plans that are in place are reviewed regularly with parents/carers to ensure that these are current and specific to the child's individual needs. Working with outside agencies:We may need to work alongside additional agencies to support children in the best way possible; this might include, Health Visitors, Speech and Language Therapists, Behaviour Support and Child Psychologists for example. We would always seek parental consent before doing this and you would be involved with the process throughout. Castle Kindergarten will always work in partnership with families and professionals to try and fully meet the individual child's needs. Seeking additional training and support where necessary.

How does a child get a place at Harry Watts Academy?New admissions to our school will have an Education Health and Care Plan, with a diagnosis of Autism and a Complex Learning Disability. Sunderland Local Authority is the Admissions Authority for Harry Watts Academy and parents/carers interested in a place for their child should consult with the SEN Office at the Civic Centre in Sunderland. Harry Watts do not commission or offer places themselves.Prior to commencing at Harry Watts Academy, we endeavour to set up a transition plan appropriate to the child/young person’s needs.  The transition plan may include: a home visit, a visit to the child’s current placement, the child visiting Harry Watts Academy and a phased admission where appropriate.How much support will my child receive?All pupils are taught in small classes with the usual class size being eight pupils.  Each class has a teacher and usually two teaching assistants.  This helps to ensure that all pupils receive a balance of whole class, small group and individual teaching.At Harry Watts, there are three pathways; Engage, Explore and Discover. Each pupil is assessed looking at their profile of strengths and needs, the way in which they learn best, and are then identified on a pathway. Each pathway has it's own classes, and pupils are grouped loosely on age, with a stronger focus on their needs, strengths and compatibility, than in 'year groups'.Engage and Explore are based at our Redhouse site; Discover is based at our Harraton site. Pupils may move between pathways and sites, dependent on their needs. The class teacher ensures that all staff that work with pupils in their class enjoy positive relationships and the staff meet regularly to ensure that they are using consistent and effective approaches for the education and care of each pupil.If a child’s needs are assessed as exceptional, even within our specialist school setting, the School Leadership Team will ensure that appropriate strategies and support is available to them.How accessible is the school?Our buildings are light and spacious with large well equipped classrooms and a number of specialist teaching rooms. The sites are safe and secure.  All external and many internal doors have ‘maglocks’ that are unlocked using a fob.Redhouse is based at Ramilies Road, in Redhouse.Harraton is based at Fir Tree Avenue, in Harraton.What resources are available to the school?All classrooms have high quality ICT facilities to support pupils’ learning including interactive whiteboards and personal computers (PCs).  Pupils also have access to laptops and I Pads.Most classroom has a small ‘quiet’ room that can be used when pupils need somewhere that is distraction free, and some have designated quiet areas.Pupils have regular access to specialised teaching rooms such as sensory, soft play, Speech and Language Therapy, food technology, music, art.Small and large outdoor spaces and play equipment is available to all pupils.How do pupils travel to school?The majority of pupils of statutory school age are eligible for free home to school transport which is provided by Sunderland Local Authority.Pupils may travel on a minibus or a taxi with other children.  In addition to a driver all home to school transport have an escort who is employed to support the children throughout their journey.At an appropriate time in the secondary department we discuss with parents/carers whether their child may benefit from Independent Travel Training.  This will depend on the individual child and can range from learning how to cross the road or experience different modes of transport to travelling from school to home independently.What specialist services are available at the school?A number of professionals work at the school to support our pupils’ health and education including; Speech and Language Therapists; School Health Advisor.Specialist musicians, artists and sports coaches visit school in order to enrich the curriculum.Our curriculum is based on the subjects of the National Curriculum and a broad and varied curriculum which offers Functional Skills (English, Maths ICT), Personal and Social Development, Creative Arts, Sport and Leisure, enterprise and work related learning.What will my child learn at school?All pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education and life.  There is a strong emphasis on giving the pupils the skills and knowledge that will allow them to contribute to society and live a good quality of life as young adults and in the future.Specialised approaches are used to support pupils’ individual learning needs:<ul><li>Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS)</li><li>TEACCH (Autism specific teaching and learning environment)</li><li>Visual supports such as timetables to aid understanding of concepts in lessons.</li><li>Intensive Interaction</li><li>Makaton Signing by adults to support a pupil’s understanding of spoken language</li><li>Speech and language programmes as advised by the speech therapist</li><li>A sensory based curriculum for some pupils</li></ul>How will I know what progress my child is making at school?Teachers assess pupils’ progress three times per year, in October, March and June, using a combination of tools to ensure they are able to see progress across all areas of learning and development, not just academic targets. Teachers use programmes and methods such as BSquared, IDL, the Engagement Model to assess the progress, and monitor this through a Pupil Progress report. All targets and outcomes are directly from the individual EHCP outcomes, as this is the main driver of each pupil's curriculum.SCERTS (Social Communication, Emotional Regulation and Transactional Supports) is an autism specific approach that we use across the school. The SCERTS® Model is a research-based educational approach and multidisciplinary framework that directly addresses the core challenges faced by children with ASD, and their families. SCERTS® focuses on building competence in Social Communication, Emotional Regulation and Transactional Support as the highest priorities that must be addressed in any programme, and is applicable for individuals with a wide range of abilities and ages across home, school and community settings.  At Harry Watts Academy, SCERTS targets are set once per year, at the EHCP review.  Each target is worked on at home and school.  Progress towards the achievement of the target is monitored daily.  A multidisciplinary team set targets.These processes allow us to monitor the progress of pupils, which in turn informs the setting of new targets for pupils.A pupil’s progress is discussed with parent/carers.
