3 Message from Executive Director of Educational and Social Services Thank you for taking the time to read this handbook. In writing the following pages, colleagues are attempting to do two things. The first is to provide you with the information you need so that your child can be given access to all of the services and facilities to which they are entitled. The second purpose is to seek and promote a genuine partnership with you as the main responsible adult in your child s life. Without that partnership it will not be possible for your daughter or son to take maximum advantage of their education and so to fulfil their potential. Quite simply, we want the best for your child in exactly the same way you do. My invitation to you is that should you have any doubts about your child s progress or their entitlement to a service, then you should not hesitate to contact the school or early childhood centre. You are entitled to an explanation of anything that is of concern to you and staff will be very pleased to assist you with an answer to any question you have. All we would ask is that you do this with the courtesy that you yourself would expect. I know your child will enjoy their time with us and they will learn and progress every day. However old your son or daughter, never be afraid to ask what they were doing today and whether they were having any difficulty or problem that we, or you, can help them with. By our working together in this way, I promise that your child will succeed and will have a great preparation for life. Kindest regards Graham Short 3

4 Headteacher s message INTRODUCTION BY HEAD OF ESTABLISHMENT Welcome to Auchinleck Early Childhood Centre The Centre handbook is compiled to give you, as the parent/carer of a new pupil to the Centre, basic information regarding the Centre and what we can offer your child. We hope that the time your child spends in the Centre will be productive and enjoyable. Education involves co-operation between home and establishment and we would hope that you would wish to become involved in educational activities whenever possible. Our aim is to provide in partnership with parents/carers a well- balanced curriculum that will enable each child to reach their full potential, not only in the more formal aspects of education, but also in the many other activities which the Centre aims to provide. We hope to create in all children a positive attitude to learning, the ability to co- operate with others, to make reasonable moral judgements and to have a caring attitude to the community as well as fostering an appreciation of the world in which he/ she lives. In addition, children have to be equipped with the skills required for a technological age and be prepared to take part in leisure activities. If you have any problems or queries regarding your child please do not hesitate to contact the Centre as soon as possible. Similarly, the Centre will contact you, if there is any concern regarding your child s development, welfare or behaviour in order that minor problems are prevented from developing into major issues. The following information is intended as a guide for pupils in Sessions 2015/2016 and will be supplemented by regular newsletters throughout the session. Yours sincerely, J Hanlon Head Teacher 4

16 Pre-birth to 3 (ECC only) 0-3 Years Pre-Birth to Three: Positive Outcomes for Scotland s Children and Families Pre-Birth to Three: Positive Outcomes for Scotland s Children and Families, replaces Birth to Three: Supporting our Youngest Children The national guidance acknowledges the significance of the period before birth in terms of influencing children s future outcomes and reflects the principles and philosophy which underpin the Early Years Framework and Curriculum for Excellence The guidance highlights the importance of attachment and atonement for young children to their parents and carers. It emphasises that all adults working with Scotland s youngest children recognise that they have an important role to play in implementing the Early Years Framework, through giving all children the responsive care, support and respect which they need and which they deserve 16

17 Curriculum 3-18 Curriculum for Excellence Curriculum for Excellence is the education system in Scotland. It includes nurseries, schools, colleges and community learning from 3-18 and beyond. From Autumn 2010, learners from pre-school to S1 have been working to Curriculum for Excellence guidance and standards. The table below matches the five curriculum levels to stages of learning generally applicable, with flexibility (for example, for young people who are particularly able and/or have additional support needs) LEVEL Early First Second Third and Fourth STAGE The pre-school years and P1, or later for some To the end of P4, but earlier or later for some To the end of P7, but earlier or later for some S1 to S3, but earlier for some. The fourth level broadly equates to Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework level 4 The fourth level experiences and outcomes are intended to provide possibilities for choice and young people s programmes will not include all of the fourth level outcomes Senior Phase S4 to S6, and college or other means of study 17

21 Policies and procedures The establishment has a range of policies and procedures which are available for parents to read. Please do not hesitate to ask the Head Teacher if you require further information. Promoting Positive Behaviour At Auchinleck Early Childhood Centred we aim to create an atmosphere in which all children and staff can work, learn and play in safety. A variety of resources are in place to promote positive behaviour. The Early Childhood Centre aims to work in partnership with parents/ carers and will always consult parents/carers when concerns and difficulties arise. The Early Childhood Centre is a community in which children and staff spend considerable time together. If children are to learn and teachers are to reach, there must be agreed rules for everyone s benefit, health and safety. The Early Childhood Centre also promotes positive behaviour through the use of 1,2,3 Magic. Anti Bullying Behaviour Policy Every child and young person in East Ayrshire should grow up free from bullying behaviour. Across all sectors, those working with children and young people in East Ayrshire are already aiming to fulfil the Scottish Government and local government commitment to ensuring children and young people become confident individuals and responsible citizens. It is our aspiration that all those who play a role in the lives of children and young people are enabled to prevent and respond effectively to incidents of bullying behaviour. Child Protection Role of Head of Establishment and Staff The Head of the establishment is the key member of staff with responsibility for all child protection issues. Responsibilities include: Establishing a positive ethos which supports and values children and contributes to their welfare and general protection. Ensuring that the Council s Child Protection Guidelines and procedures are brought to the attention of all staff annually. Ensuring that there is a named child protection co-ordinator in the establishment. Developing establishment policy and practice to meet national and local guidance. 21

22 Policies and procedures Role of Staff The role of staff is to be alert to the need to act in the best interests of children and in co- operation with other key agencies in order to protect children from harm and abuse. In circumstances where there are grounds for concern that a child may have been abused staff will: Observe Report Record and Co-operate with social work and other relevant agencies such as police, the Scottish Children s Reporter Administration and appropriate medical personnel. Protection of Children (Scotland) Act 2003 Parent helpers/volunteers regularly involved in educational establishments i.e. nurseries, schools etc. require to have a Disclosure Scotland PVG Scheme check before the parent helper/volunteer is allowed to assist in the establishment. 22

23 Additional support for learning Additional Support Needs The Education (Additional Support for Learning) (Scotland) Act 2004 has replaced the law relating to special educational needs. This has now been updated by the 2009 Act which came into force on 17 November The majority of children and young people are able to access their curricular programme at the centre without the need of additional help. However, there will be a percentage of children/young people, who may, at some point in their education, have difficulties that will act as a barrier to their effective learning. In such circumstances the child or young person may require additional support beyond the norm in order to help them overcome these barriers. Such children/young people will be considered to have additional support needs. All early years establishments have a variety of procedures to assist in the early identification of children with additional support needs. Identification and support planning will take place at the earliest possible stage. Children and young people who have been identified as having additional support needs will be supported through an Individual Action Plan, Individual Educational Plan (IEP) or in some cases a Coordinated Support Plan. In line with legislation, parents/carers/children, young people, will be fully consulted at all stages. This Act places additional responsibilities on local authorities for children who are looked after by the local authority. It will also give more rights to parents in respect of requesting assessments in relation to their child/young person. Further information can be obtained from various leaflets, that can be accessed through council website or individual copies are available in school. 23

24 Additional support for learning Mediation Mediation and advocacy services are also available and information about these can be obtained from the contact details below. Enquire the Scottish advice service for additional support for learning. Operated by Children in Scotland, Enquire offer independent, confidential advice and information on additional support for learning through: A telephone helpline An enquiry service - info@enquire.org.uk An online enquiry service Two websites (for parents/carers and practitioners) and (for children and young people. Enquire also provide a range of clear and easy-to-read guides and factsheets explaining everything from additional support in the early years to what planning should take place for moving on from school. Additional Support Needs: East Ayrshire Psychological Service Advice and support may be sought from other appropriate staff within the establishment and through consultancy with visiting professionals, including the educational psychologist. The educational psychologist visits the establishment regularly to work with and, through the staff, to best support children and young people who are experiencing barriers to learning. Their role is often in giving advice to the establishment and in the sharing of expertise with staff. Staff may discuss the support needs of individual children with the psychologist in order to ensure that support plans are appropriate to the individual needs of the child. However, the psychologist would not observe or meet with a child without the prior consent of the parents. The establishment is responsible for ensuring that parents are aware of their procedures and the psychologist s role within them. The establishment is also responsible for seeking parental approval, when necessary, for the psychologist to be directly involved with a child or young person. 24

26 Transition Transition to Primary School Transfer from Early Years establishment to Primary School Throughout the session, Auchinleck Early Childhood Centre has close contact with each associated primary school and work together to ensure transition from centre to primary school is as smooth as possible. Each primary school is kept informed of the work the children are covering in the centre and therefore knows the stage of development the child has reached. This is achieved by the centre completing the Early Years Literacy Screening document in January, giving the school a very early indication of each individual child s development. This document also identifies any high achievers and anyone who may require additional support. The Early Years Transition Profile starts recording children s progress at the centre. This is then passed on to the Primary School and will be completed at the end of primary one. During the year prior to your child starting primary school, the primary staff from these schools will be invited to spend time with the children in the centre. The children will also have opportunities to visit the primary schools and get to know the staff. Joint projects are carried out and opportunities are created for parents, staff, and children to meet the receiving primary one teacher to discuss the transition to school. During the year we have a number of social events with the primaries. These have included, Burns Supper, Nativity, Buddy visits, Teddy Bear s Picnic. We have built good links with our associated primary schools and greatly value our good relationships with them.

We have an Open Door policy which means you are free to come into the centre at any time and join us at play or for a chat. If you feel you would like to speak to a staff member or the Head Teacher in private this can be arranged. We offer termly informal Stay and Play sessions when you are invited to spend time with your child in the playroom.

If you feel that you would prefer a formal meeting at any other time you can speak to the staff and this will be arranged. The centre works closely with our 3 feeder primary schools and information on your child is shared between the centre and primary staff. We are developing opportunities to work together throughout the year in order to make the transition to Primary 1 as smooth as possible for your child. We encourage the sharing of information between the centre and home and this starts when your child begins the centre. You will be asked to complete an All about Me sheet which is the start of your child s learning journey. In the first few weeks of your child starting the centre, staff will complete a sheet When I started Nursery I was Able to, and both sheets will be used to inform planning for future learning. Each child will have a portfolio of photographs and work which will build up over their time in the centre to show how they have progressed. Please feel free to add to this at any time to show your child s achievements at home or in the local community. Community Links We feel we are an important part of the community and we strive to involve others in the work of the centre.

Clothing Children have the best fun when they are doing creative and activity- based work. We shall always try to make sure they wear aprons, but accidents happen, so please dress your child in suitable clothing. Please also make sure that your child has suitable outdoor clothing in case outdoor play or a trip is planned. East Ayrshire Council is concerned at the level of claims being received regarding the loss of children s clothing and/or personal belongings. Parents/carers are asked to assist in this area by ensuring that valuable items and unnecessarily expensive items of clothing are not brought. Parents/carers should note that the authority does not carry insurance to cover the loss of such items and any claims submitted are likely to be met only where the authority can be shown to have been negligent. Parent Committee Every parent and carer is automatically a member of our Parent Committee. We hold termly meetings which you are all invited to. The purpose of the committee is to work together to support children s learning and development and can include fund raising, policy development and self evaluation. It is a great opportunity to get to know other parent/carers and have a voice in how the centre works. Communication is vital and we provide regular newsletters, a weekly notice board in the entrance hall and there are daily opportunities to pass on information between home and the centre. which will allow you to log on and see what is happening in the centre. 29
