Our aim is to work in partnership with parents/carers, therapists and other professionals to give the child the best opportunity to achieve their full potential and be appropriately placed in their next educational setting.
The majority of children are referred through the child development team and close links are maintained with them, Portage and the Pre-5 Service. A detailed early profile of the child is completed soon after admission to the centre. This enables staff to set targets in all areas of the child’s development and learning, making reference to Early Learning Goals. This is closely linked with the child’s Statement of Special Educational Need and is continually evaluated and reviewed. A full range of learning opportunities is provided through a topic focus and basic play curriculum within an exciting and stimulating environment.
The Early Years Assessment Centre offers experiences which complement and extend ‘learning at home’ and greatly values the working partnership of families, therapists, medics and educationalists.
