Children learn at different rates and require different types and levels of support from practitioners to achieve their full potential. The types of support will vary depending on individual children’s needs. It is important that practitioners understand the varying levels of need within their classroom, as well as any barriers to learning children may face. Understanding this can help practitioners to utilise adaptive teaching practice to provide their children with the targeted support.

How do we ensure children are included in the Early Years? These are practical visits to the three outstanding nursery schools to see inclusion in action. Participants will be given the opportunity to take part in a guided learning walk with one of the school’s SENCOs.

During the learning walk participants can see adapted teaching in action considering how the learning environment provides inclusion for all. Strategies will be explained to participants in the context of the code of practice and the plan do review cycle.
