Hi Katherine

Afraid I haven't got the answers, but I'm in the same position. Trying to fill my forms and a bit stuck on these ones too.

Hopefully someone will be able to help us.

Good luck with your registration.

Yes I'd say your on the right lines. Learn a few simple phrases from their language. Use basic English. Also you could get a few posters to display in their language e.g. Welcome Poster, Please wash your hands Poster? Possibly some resourses relating to their originating country. Also include any food which may be spercific to their country into the weekly menu???
Hope this helps???

Give as much as you can written down too. Explain things to them but give them the information to take away and digest/ refer back to/ check with relatives.

Learn the childs native words for essentials like food drink pain toilet etc
