Ahhh! I see!

Just to clarify, the Eyfs says -

Equality of opportunities

All providers must have and implement an effective policy about ensuring equality of opportunities and for supporting children with learning difficulties and disabilities.

All providers in receipt of Government funding must have regard to the SEN Code of Practice.

Sooooo.... if you are not accredited then you do not need to have the document...

But... for good practice you should have some idea of what it says and how it protects children :D

You need to be a member of an NCMA children come first network and have done a course.

You can then get govt funding for looking after pre-schoolers (like they get in nurseries and playgroups).

They don't do it in lots of areas. Depends where you live
