Musical Climbers & Creators A year of exploring music with some wonderful SEND children In 2023/24 we were delighted to bring this wonderful project to life in our Grow Wild adventure play space with the support of Youth Music. This fun and uplifiting session was co-produced by the Lloyd Park Children's Charity's SEND and outdoors play practitioners, parent/carers, children and the amazing music-making charity, Soundcastle. The project delivered unique music-based outdoor learning and sensory experiences for children living with SEND who are often excluded from music-making and outdoors adventure play. Sounds from the Forest Stomp in the Forest 00:00 / 09:06 These beautiful tracks were composed by Soundcastle using vocals, sounds, beats and music made by the children, recorded as they explored the space and made music together. Meditation in the Green Space 00:00 / 09:22 Magical Memories Outdoors music-making in our inspiring 'Grow Wild' adventure playspace Real musical instruments to play led by musicians Freedom for children to play and join in at their own pace Music-making combined with creative play Inclusive music-making for SEND children and their siblings Breakthroughs for SEND children in socialising and personal confidence Building more confidence to jump and tumble with drum beats Children discovered a passion for music-making Parents saw leaps in their children's development Feedback from parents and carers I cannot enthuse about this playgroup/adventure playground and staff more. It is SUCH a supportive environment for not only my son but my daughter too aswell as myself. Staff have gone above and beyond for both my children as they often run in opposite directions and I physically can't keep an eye on both of them! The staff are unfaltering in their care for both the children, this is so important to me as often siblings can sometimes not be so welcomed in my experience which is very difficult for me. The musical element to the session is genuinely magical. At first the musicians would play musical instruments as my children played and slowly but surely my children have actively taken part in playing the musical instruments themselves which they both adore. I feel like my children get so much out of this sen session, they both have gained so much confidence in the setting since coming and both get so excited when they realise we are going to Grow Wild I myself, as their parent, really enjoy coming too! I can never usually relax in other settings as my son can be unpredictable with his behaviour at times, but here I can just breathe and let my children have fun with staff who are always enthusiastic to see them. Thank you so much! We have truly enjoyed our sessions on a Tuesday. My son loves to be outside and to be able to enjoy all the instruments in this free way has been so enriching for him. The musicians are wonderful with the little ones completely working at their pace and direction! Tirelessly playing “train” and offering different instruments and sounds occasionally so he gets a varied experience. All done in a respectful way so he hasn’t felt overwhelmed or too directed. If I had to think of something I’m tempted to say it would be nice to have some more performance group playing from the musicians with flute etc but perhaps that’s more my wanting as the simpler instruments have been generously shared and given access to and the children lead the way!! Thank you all and hope you can keep going …. We will keep coming!! Since we started attending in May my son has made huge progress in his speech, language and communication and these sessions have been a huge part of that. He finds communication challenging and this usually prevents him from interacting with other people. He became very comfortable very quickly at Grow Wild and very quickly started to interact with the musicians and it has been an absolute joy to see. He then repeatedly talks about Grow Wild at home throughout the week so not only is the session beneficial when he's there, but he loves it so much that he wants to talk about it all week, so it's been fantastic for his development at home as well. My daughter has also just started to come out of her shell. She usually only speaks to me but this week she spoke to three different adults at the session too and was much more confident and independent. I also love how safe these sessions are. Being able to run around outside in a safe space with other children and parents who understand his differences is priceless. These sessions are by far the best SEND sessions I have been to in Waltham Forest as they tick so many boxes. A safe outdoor space, access to a wide range of activities like climbing, water play, painting etc. all alongside the musical elements and an energetic, kind and enthusiastic team of adults running the sessions. ....So many of my son's sensory needs are met in one session which helps him to feel calm and regulated throughout the rest of the day. There is something available and beneficial for every child and it's fabulous to see every child enjoying themselves week after week. So thank you so much for everything. I hope that you can secure funding for September as it'll be a huge loss to the SEND community if these sessions were to stop. Both my children have both asked me if they can go to Grow Wild three times today already and this will happen every day until next week 😅 We have a home education journal and at the end of every day, we write down what we've done and my son often likes looking back at the photos of him at Grow Wild and asks for his own musical instruments. Just wanted to say how fantastic the musical element to the play has been and how much both my 19month old and I have enjoyed coming to those special sessions. It has given my son great exposure to music and to different and unique instruments we would not normally come across in our own play. The musicians are all so very talented, professional yet friendly and have a natural ability to connect with the young ones. I feel very fortunate to have attended the sessions we have with you, which have really enhanced my son's learning through song, tune and creativity. This group has been a lifeline to us from the start until now. We attend whatever the weather and my ASD child has thrived and grown from being in such an accepting and accomodating environment. He has gone from a child who was extremely uncomfortable around people, particularly adults, to somebody who seeks out interactions from the Grow Wild and Soundcastle teams. He's changed from being crying and anxious on arrival to shouting "go to see Zoe!" the minute he sees the tree. He has developed a tolerance for other children, for group singing and for music. He has developed so many social skills and even shown a keen interest in making music himself. He gets all of his sensory seeking needs met, has the freedom to explore without any pressure and we are truly fortunate to be able to attend this group. My child has developed and grown into somebody who can be in public without severe discomfort and who actually enjoys the company of other people, and I believe Grow wild has played a massive part in that.....

SEND Community Services Building trusting relationships with parent/carers allows us to develop and implement support packages for their children's individual learning needs as they progress on to nursery or school. We use toolkits approved by the local council's 'Early Years Team' to assess children and plan their support with parent/carers. Early Years Inclusion Pathway LLoyd Park Children's Charity is now commissioned to deliver a 12 week PEEPS programme called "Learning Together-Preschool' for children 2-4 yrs and 'Learning Together Under 2's'. This is an invite only programme for those referred to LBWF's 'Early Years Inclusion Pathway'. Click on the button to the right to find out more on their website: As part of the programme you will be asked to complete a short questionnaire at the start and end of the programme. This helps us measure the impact of these sessions and hopefully secure further funding so that more families can benefit from the sessions.

Our Pedagogy “Play is the work of the child" Maria Montessori Our curriculum Our 'All About Me' curriculum outlines our 'Intent' for your child in the various areas of learning along with our 'implementation' methodologies and how we measure the 'Impact' of you child's time with us. Read Curriculum Learning through play When children learn through play they are exploring and making sense of their world. Child directed play allows children to follow their interests and learn at their own pace. Through play children learn how to interact and communicate with others and develop problem solving skills and cognitive skills such as concentration and critical thinking. Celebrating and supporting children’s play helps promote resilience, emotional regulation and confidence. It’s crucial for child development and the foundation to life-long learning. Learning Stories We use 'Learning Stories' to document and assess children’s learning. The story highlights a significant moment for a child, describing their strenghts, interests, exploration and play. Using photographs, quotes, conversations, and observations, we create a ‘picture’ of learning that is unique to each child. They are shared with parents and avalible in the setting for children to enjoy. Originating from New Zealand’s Te Whariki curriculum, Learning Stories aim to understand and appreciate children’s lived experiences and the meaning they make of them. Planning in partnership with parents Parents and carers are children's first educators and have expert knowledge about their child. Our team are trained in child development and learning. We work in partnership with parents to share knowledge and plan for each childs interests so we can extend their learning through play. We've recently introduced PLODs (Possible Lines of Direction) which is a tool developed by Pen Green. We discuss children's learning regularlly with parents to help us plan activities to support their learning in the setting and at home. The Pen Green Loop The Pen Green Loop best illustrates how we share information with families to support children in our settings. Pen Green explain that when important adults in a child's life give feedback about what's important to the child, this produces a far deeper understanding of the child's learning and development. Our Approach Our teaching and learning methods are rooted in our mission to ‘build brighter futures’ and guided by six fundamental principles: 1. Children at the centre of everything we do At the heart of our approach is a deep understanding of chi ldren. We recognise the uniqueness of every child, and our practice is always child-centred. 2. Holistic approach Our early years pedagogy is all about seeing your child as a whole, understanding their unique needs, and supporting them in a way that respects their individuality. W e consider all aspects of your child’s life and background, and appreciate the impact of their environment on their development and growth. 3. Parents as partners We believe in the power of collaboration and recognise parents as the primary educators of their children. By working closely with you, we can share insights, learn from each other, and strive together to ensure the best outcomes for your child. 4. Positive relationships Positive relationships are crucial to children’s outcomes. We foster positive connections with children, families, other organisations and the wider community. 5. Learning together We view learning as a shared journey where children, families, and practitioners learn together every day. This involves being present, tuning in and celebrating the joy and wonder of the early years. 6. Enabling environment We strive to create a playful, safe, and child-initiated environment where children can be independent and make choices about their play and learning. We encourage risky play to promote learning across the cirriculum and to help develop confidence and resilience. Early Years Foundation Stage We follow the statutory framework of the EYFS which sets the standards for learning, development and care for children from 0-5 years. We also use Development Matters as cirriculum guidance.

Wellbeing Support Our aim A parent's wellbeing and that of the wider family is the foundation for a child's healthy development. Parents' and carers' own wellbeing often comes lower down their list of priorities as they putting their children's needs first. Many aren't aware of their own wellbeing needs. With this in mind; we offer a range of services that have wellbeing support at their core. Early Years Social Prescribing Our early years social prescribing team works with families to connect them to community services that meet their practical, health and wellbeing needs.

Join Us! A history of being green Built to last We purchase high quality toys and equipment designed to last Re-use We re-use recyclable materials for arts and crafts activities Eating more plants We've created menus with a healthy balance of vegetarian and plant based foods Using less energy We have conserved energy by turning off lighting and devices when not in use Fewer plastic bottles We've used water coolers to reduce plastic bottle use Shorter supply chains We buy from local suppliers wherever possible Taking Action We appointed a dedicated, trustee-led 'ecO' working group to drive our work and provide good governance 2023 Eco-Audit After identifying that we wanted to go fruther to be more sustainble, we realised that we needed some expert assistance to assess just how sustainable we were. We needed an eco-audit! We bid for and were awarded funding from the City Bridge Foundation allowing us to bring in '3 Acorns' environmental consultants to perform a full eco-audit with our teams. Our eco-audit analysed everything from our energy and water consumption, consumables usage and waste output through to ingredients used in our menus and even the greenness of our banking suppliers! Responding to our eco-audit Actions we've already taken to reduce our carbon foot print Food We've increased the number of plant based options in our menus and completely removed the most polluting meat, beef. Water We've replaced plastic water syphons with filter jugs in our staff rooms and we're also exploring ways to: completely eliminate plastic water bottles usage collect rainwater safley for gardening and outdoors cleaning. use cistern blocks and water usage awareness campaigns to reduce our consumption. Finance Most of our financial arrangemetns are now placed with ethical and eco-friendly providers. We're exploring ways to bank more sustainably and ethically as a priority. Waste We've installed more recyling bins and made it much easier to spearate out the various materials Composting bins are also now in place cutting out any food wastaging that would've gon to landfil. Nappies We are working hard to replace disposable nappies with reusable nappy kits in our centres and are currently piloting the switch in our Higham Hill Centre with a view to rolling out at the Lloyd Park Centre too. Our Community Services team are also promoting resusable nappy usage in other community support sessions across Waltham Forest. We couldn't have achieved this without the support of three amazing organisations; Waltham Forest Cloth Nappy Library , the Women's Environmental Network (WEN) and Nappy Ever After. Many, many thanks to them, we're looking forward to continuing our work together! See our dedicated Cloth Nappy page here Working with our community to address the climate crisis We want to go much further in working with our local community to build a greener, brighter future for our children, and we need your help!
