"Children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported incredibly well through superb partnerships with parents and professionals to ensure they flourish" OFSTED 2018
At Leaping Frogs we want to give ALL children the best early years experience possible.
To do this we have a full time SENCO.
Her name is Sophie Hoskins.
At Leaping Frogs we care for children that have many different special requirements, such as diet allergies, speech and language disorders and delays, hearing problems, autism, diabetes and cerebral palsy. The staff are very caring and welcome ALL children. We are enthusiastic to further our knowledge about different disorders/needs by attending appropriate courses and will work closely with families/professionals to give your child the best possible care. We run smaller group activities so that your child can benefit from more focused learning opportunities and will adapt activities to suit each individual child's needs and abilities.
"Staff act rapidly to initiate intervention plans. Leaders monitor the positive impact these have on children's learning to ensure high levels of achievement for every child" OFSTED 2018
.
The smaller group activities provides more freedom for your child to express their ideas and to gain good listening and communication skills. Staff are extremely knowledgeable in this area. We are fortunate to have a mother with considerable knowledge in the area of speech and language, particularly for children with hearing difficulties. Leaping Frogs is recognised by the local authorities as being committed to helping children with hearing problems. The premises have been fitted with specialist sound field system equipment in both indoor areas.
