Policies Document for Parents


Child Protection Policy

The welfare, safety and well being of all children is paramount. We 
have a duty to act quickly and responsibly in any instance which may 
cause concern.

A full policy is available on request and a named Child Protection 
coordinator is named in the hallway.

Health and Safety 

We aim to provide and maintain a safe and healthy environment for 
children, staff and parents. All our staff are made aware of their 
obligation to maintain this policy and are updated on relevant issues 
on a regular basis.

Sickness & Accident Policy

The staff reserve the right to exclude any child from the nursery 
should they be considered not well enough to attend or if they are 
suffering from a contagious illness. Whilst we have a realistic attitude 
towards the needs of parents we do request that parents refrain from 
bringing their children to the nursery should they not be well enough 
to attend.

Whilst we endeavour to ensure the safety of the children, should a 
minor accident occur, our trained first aid staff would take appropriate 
action. An accident form will be completed for discussion and 
signiature upon your return.

Equal Opportunities Policy

We have a positive equal opportunities policy, which totally opposes 
any discrimination on the basis of race, ethnic origin, disability, sex or 
religion.

Children, parents and staff are entitled to the same rights and this is 
promoted within the nursery. A full policy is available on request.

Behaviour Management Policy

Behaviour will be managed by giving praise and encouragement to all 
children taking into account their age and stage of development. 
Whilst we appreciate what constitutes acceptable behaviour may 
differ from one care giver to another, as a nursery we have 
established clear boundaries and should a child continually exceed 
these guidelines, we will agree a suitable plan of action after 
discussion with yourself.

Special Educational Needs Policy

We believe that every child should be given the opportunity to reach 
it's full potential. Should a child experience difficulties in learning or 
have emotional, physical or behaviour problems, it is through 
partnership with the parents / carers we can achieve the best for the 
child.

We also encourage any child who shows a particular talent and 
provide an environment which promotes development.

Medicine Policy

We will only administer prescribed medication within the nursery and 
we request that any medication brought into the nursery is signed in 
and out using our medicine consent form. Medication for a life 
threatening illness will require letters from your GP and a care plan 
drawn up for the nursery (please discuss this further with the 
manager).

Calpol or other pain reliever can be administered to your child 
provided it is clearly labelled wiith your child's name and our company 
forms fully completed. It can only be administered for two consecutive 
days. When a child has been prescribed anti biotics we ask they do 
not attend nursery for the first 24 hours or 3 doses of medication.
