To allow for the smooth running of my setting, I have put together a number of policies and procedures. These polices are put in place to protect you, your child, myself and my family.

 

They are readily available upon request.

 
Policies include:

 

• Accidents, Illness and Emergency Policy

• Alcohol, Drugs and Smoking Policy

• Bullying and Aggressive Behaviour Policy

• Complaints Policy

• Confidentiality Policy

• Dropping Off and Collection Policy

• Emergency Evacuation Policy

• Equal Opportunities Policy

• Medicine Policy

• Safeguarding Children Policy

• Sickness Policy

• Uncollected Child Policy

• Working in Partnership with Parents Policy

 

These policies and procedures are regularly reviewed and where changes are made I will notify parents of children in my care and supply them with a copy of the up to date policy.

Before care for your child can begin you will be asked to complete a child record form, contract and sign some permission forms.

 

These include:

 

• Administration of non-prescription medication

• Application of creams 

• Collection by a named adult

• Computer/Internet Usage 

• Garden Play Equipment 

• Observations 

• Photographs* 

• Pre-arranged Alternative Care 

• Records to be kept on computer 

• Routine Outings 

• Permission to seek medical emergency treatment 

• Transporting children in a vehicle

 

*This is for identification and child file purposes and will not be shared or used by third parties.

 

the above will be made available to parents once a place has been offered. Parents are required to sign a registration agreement which indicates that they have read and agree with all policies and procedures therein.
