Family Support and Pupil Wellbeing 

We are lucky here at Rosegrove Nursery School to have a Pupil Wellbeing Support Practitioner, Samantha Watson.  Samantha is able to offer support for you and your family to help with any area of child development and parenting. 

The nursery will signpost, and work with other outside agencies who can support you and your family within your home . 

If you wish to talk to Samantha, please contact the school office.

Early Help

 

At Rosegrove Nursery, we will do all that we can to support children and families so that they are strong and can thrive. 

The Nursery School has a Designated Senior Lead – Sarah Jones (Head teacher) and two Deputies – Jane Yates (Senior Teacher and SENCO) and Samantha Watson (TA and Wellbeing Support). Together, with the other staff in the Nursery School we offer lots of different support for families, known as Early Help.

Early Help means providing help for children, young people and families as soon as problems start to emerge or where it is likely that issues will impact negatively on children’s outcomes. Lancashire County Council recognises that Early Help is a term that describes much of the everyday work of schools.

There are many different types of Early Help offered in the Nursery School.  This includes:

  •          An open door policy where families are encouraged to talk about concerns or problems
  •          Every child having a Key Worker who knows the child and family well and can observe if support or help may be       needed.
  •          A Wellbeing Support Practitioner, trained to support families and children.  This  includes the role of Lead               Practitioner for an Early Help Assessment so the plan is co-ordinated and successful.
  •          Strong links with many different agencies to signpost to the right support for children and families.
  •          Writing an Early Help Assessment and holding regular Team Around the Family (TAF) meetings.
  •          Sharing information with different agencies when needed for the child’s welfare and wellbeing.
  •          Support with attendance
  •          Support with behaviour and developmental milestones such as toilet training.
  •          Support with strategies for keeping children safe in the home and in the community.
  •          Healthy Eating

The Nursery will sometimes signpost families to support from other agencies.  We will always listen and signpost to an agency that we think will be able to help families.
