Introduction
My setting is a 54 place private day nursery that is attached to a private school. We take children aged 6 weeks to 5 years old and have 3 rooms with different aged groups in. In the rooms there is one team leader and other full time members of staff to meet the room ratios. Each full time practioners has their own group of key children, which they record their development on a monthly basis in relation to the Early Years Foundation Stage. The setting has one SENCO who is the deputy manager and the setting has written policies which relate to the policies at the school. I am the team leader in the toddler room and I have 2 key children that require more support due to their developmental needs.
I am focusing my report on Children’s development in relation to children with Special Education Needs. Well-being, in relation to children, means “a contented state of being happy and healthy and prosperous.” http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=well-being Well-being is important and every step should be taken to meet the children’s needs.
For the purpose of this report, I have read and analysed four documents, two internal policies; Behaviour policy and Equal Opportunities Policy and the two external policies; EYFS: Health and Well-being and Convention of Rights for children. I have then used
