Various behaviour support strategies to be implemented consistently and naturally during sessions with the children.

Virtual meetings must be held with parents to receive and share information about the children.2.4 The provision will establish a good relationship with the children's parents from the outset in a very effective way. This will contribute to the process of settling the children (invite to a meeting with staff to see the setting beforehand - in accordance with the safeguards guidelines) In the light of Covid 19 it is suggested that discussions be held with parents virtually if this cannot be done safely on a face to face basis.2.5 Stay and Play- every term for Flying Start children before the children start at the childcare setting. Settings must carry out initial conversations to gain information about the children and share information about the setting, discuss settling in sessions, how information is shared regularly / daily with the families eg Contact Book, the Treasure Book and the 'About Me' booklet, the new ALN code, and assessment methods. Use various platforms to share and receive information- eg SeeSaw, Class Dojo. This can provide opportunities for families to discuss events and activities after the sessions. Arrange a Stay and Play session. As a result of Covid 19, consideration can be given to holding Stay and Play sessions outdoors in line with the 'Protective Measures' guidelines for sharing and receiving information. All Flying Start Childcare settings have the technology to conduct virtual sessions with parents also. Due to the restrictions that prevent parents from visiting settings, it is suggested that settings create a video clip of the setting showing both inside and out, introducing staff, and creating clips of staff at the setting, telling a story or singing. This will help the child with the settling in process.Reporting on the Wellcomm screening. Time should be given to discuss the results of the Wellcomm screening and to share targets and activities with parents each term.Reporting on a child's development. An individual meeting should be held with each parent / guardian at the end of each term to discuss the child's development and discuss the \"About Me\" booklet and any additional tracking if relevant. The leader / manager must ensure that there are written records in the booklet about the child and that parents / guardians and are encouraged to record their comments and sign in the 'About Me' booklet2.6 The building, both indoors and outdoors, and the resources provided must be of high quality and appropriate to the needs of the children and their families. Flying Start funding / capital bids will provide an opportunity to order suitable resources for the settings following discussions with the link teacher, and subject to availability. Any change to capital funding will need to be added into the Self Evaluation.2.7 Children must be given the opportunity to enjoy varied and interesting periods of physical development through dance, games and large equipment indoors and outdoors in all weather. As a result of Covid 19 all venues are encouraged to promote greater use of the outside areas and to enjoy nature more.2.8 Children must be given regular opportunities to take the lead in their own play and that staff follow the children's lead. Conduct the Wellcomm screening by following the child's lead. Work with the teacher to develop the gradual transition to planning in the moment with the children and strategies such as 'Can I join you?' as part of the provision map on a daily basis.2.9 A balanced and healthy menu must be provided during snack and meal times (in a nursery) with access to daily fresh water.2.10 Settings must ensure that there are suitable facilities for children and adults to wash their hands in accordance with National guidelines, and most recently Covid.2.11 All settings will need to ensure that children are continually encouraged to use the outside area as a second classroom area, to extend their learning in line with Covid 19 guidelines.2.12 Wellcomm Screening - The Central Team will continue to monitor this Data. Following the Wellcomm screening, the targets will be generated by the 'Wizzard' system, and are available for settings to use to support the children who have had an amber or red score. Targets from the Wellcomm package should be implemented during the sessions in the Childcare setting. All settings are expected to re-screen all children within a 3 month period. The leader should discuss any concerns about a child's language development with a parent, FS SALT, FS Teacher, and the wider Team, to ensure that appropriate support and advice is offered. Joint referral with other officers of the multi-agency Flying Start Team can be made to the Panel for targeted provision.3 Quality3.1 The setting must be registered with Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) and comply with any recommendations set by them.3.2 Placements must provide information to all staff about the new Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act that came into force from April 6th 2017, and ensure that their service complies with the act's objectives.3.3 The settings must provide the highest quality of service whilst also safeguarding the health and wellbeing of the children when at the childcare setting.
