Supporting children into Nursery and School

Welcome to Somerset videos

Our  English as an additional language (EAL) service  have been commissioned to create a short video aimed at parents, giving brief information about childcare options in Somerset. This has been recorded in English and 10 other languages: Bulgarian, French, German, Italian, Lithuanian, Mandarin, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. To accompany this there is a pack of information that providers will find useful when trying to gather and share information with parents and carers who may speak little English. I have added below links if you require this in any other language as listed above please ask Jayne.
