Essex County Council has a statutory duty under the Childcare Act 2006 to ensure there are sufficient and accessible high quality early years and childcare provision. In September 2017, the Government also introduced the Extended Funding Entitlement, providing an additional 15 hours free childcare for 3-4 year olds who meet certain criteria.

In general Brentwood has a diverse range of Early Years and Childcare provision to a high quality, however data suggests a large majority of areas are reaching maximum capacity and with the introduction of the Extended Funding Entitlement, childcare choices are limited and new provision will be needed with the additional developments planned.

Change suggested by respondent:

Insert the following paragraph at the end of the Education and Schools section (paras 2.49-2.51), and before paragraph 7.103 -

In respect of Special Education Needs (SEN) children present with many different types of need and it is not possible to provide for every need within each District. Each special school is regarded as a regional centre of excellence for their type of need i.e. autism, severe learning difficulties etc and children attend from a wider geographical area. Some children in Brentwood with special needs travel to special schools in other areas of the County.

Endeavour School is a special school for children aged 5 years to 16 years with moderate learning difficulties and complex needs and is the only special school in Brentwood. ECC commissions places for local children with an Education Health and Care Plan at this school.

ECC has developed specially resourced provision for children with speech and language difficulties within West Horndon Primary School in Brentwood to meet the needs of a small number of children with specific speech and language difficulties who are able to access the national curriculum with specialist support.
