Our ‘Individual Needs Policy’ is available for parents to review in our ‘Parent Handbook’. The aims of our Individual Needs Policy are to:

• Raise learning standards for all children
• Enable all children to be intellectually, physically and socially equipped to reach their full potential
• Ensure that all children’s needs are met
• Enable all children to access to the curriculum of the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework
• Provide a more tailored provision for particular children in addition to existing classroom practice by using IEP (Individual Education Plan) and IPP (Individual Play Plan)
• Provide differentiation within the classroom
• Cater for the needs of children who have additional needs
• Cater to the gifted and talented children.

At JINS, our teachers and staff aim to help children take responsibility for their own behaviour through a combination of strategies:

• Continuity of care and reassurance to the child, and treating the child as if they are part of our family
• Positive and consistent role modelling
• Providing a range of stimulating and challenging activities
• Setting and enforcing appropriate boundaries and expectations
• Providing positive feedback and reinforcement
• Working with the parents to build their understanding of their children
