Noah's Ark Pre-School
Preschool
We support children by using the EYFS birth to 5 matters framework. Our planning is based around your child’s individual development and interests. We have a key person system in place and offer an open morning before your child starts. We have 3 main areas consisting of a garden area, a room for quieter play and a large room for messy play. We have a free flow environment with access to the outside for most of the session, including a rolling snack. We use Tapestry, an online learning journey to record your child's progress and development, which allows you access to your child's learning while at home. We have strong parent partnership and work closely with all our families.

Support for people with disabilities
- Experience of including people with special educational needs and disabilities
We have a dedicated SEN officer and a deputy who work together to ensure all our SEN children are well looked after. We also have updates for all staff on SEN children at our monthly staff meetings. We can offer some 1:1 help for children who require it, once we receive additional funding from Suffolk County Council.
