Wiltshire Council District Specialist Centres Market Engagement Event Thursday 16th November 2023 Wiltshire Council are seeking providers to deliver Specialist Early Years Settings in four locations, to improve the individual development, learning and wellbeing of children aged 0-5 years with additional/complex needs living in Wiltshire. Wiltshire Council currently commissions services from four specialist nurseries in: Chippenham, Devizes, Sailsbury, and Trowbridge The services will operate term-time only, 38 weeks a year. The service aims to • Provide each child at lease 5 hours of sessions each week • Provide in reach, outreach and workshops • Support parent carers to help enable their child(ren) with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) to realise their potential. • Support children and their parent carers to be included within their mainstream provision within their local community where possible. • Work closely with local authority teams and other organisations supporting early years children and their families to maximise efficiencies and reduce any possible duplication of work. • Work with Wiltshire Council officers and other organisations to help ensure all early year’s staff from settings that seek your support feel confident that they can support a child with SEND to access and enjoy their early years setting. • Empower parents to become independent in supporting their children’s educational, health and social needs.
