Nursery and School Support 

Nursery Support 

We are here to support your nursery setting to ensure they have the knowledge to ensure your child thrives at nursery. 

​

With your consent Louise will make initial contact with the setting and arrange an initial visit. The aim of the visit is to discuss the unique learning profile of our stars and provide information where needed, suggest adaptations the setting may need to make, provide or advise on training which they may find useful and answer any questions which they may have. 

​

If your child attends our early intervention sessions, Louise will be able to support with areas of developmental focus and activities.

​

They are welcome to email us at any time should they have any questions.

School Support

Our support with starting school can start before they even step foot in the door. Selecting a school can be daunting but we are here to help if anyway we can. We can accompany you on school visits and support with the EHCP paperwork. 

 

We can offer vital training in the Down Syndrome learning profile. This ensure that the staff working with your child understands how they will learn best, the unique learning profile and how to ensure your child thrives in education. For children who attend our intervention programme the training will be tailored to their individual needs, interests and development stage. During this training our school information pack will be issued which includes an school age information booklet, sight word reading books and Maths for Life book. Once your child commences school you are welcome to continue to attend the school intervention programme. Your child’s TA is welcome to attend so they can transfer the learning to the school setting. There is no charge to the school for this. 

 

Children not receiving EHCP funded SLT and attend the Shine21 school intervention programme: we can provide
half termly or termly visits to provide guidance on differentiating the curriculum and support with sight word reading, maths for life and other key areas of development.

Children receiving EHCP funded SLT and those who do not attending the Shine21 school intervention programme: we can provide training on the Down Syndrome Learning profile.​

Collaborative working ensures your child gets sufficient repetition of an activity to be able to achieve it and use that learnt skill in everyday life.
