Our Policies

A full collection of our policies & procedures can be viewed at the setting, but include:

Safeguarding

• Collection of children by authorized persons only.
• The use of mobile phones and cameras is forbidden within the nursery.
• Parents are kindly asked not to let others in to the nursery to maintain tight security.
• All parents are asked to sign their child in and out of the setting.
• We must obtain necessary information from Parents in advance of a child being admitted to the setting, including registration form, birth certificate, utility bill and ‘red book’.
• Injury on arrival forms must be completed by a parent on entry to nursery for any accidents or injuries that may have happened at home.

Sickness and Medication

• If your child is unwell, we ask you to keep them at home and inform nursery that they won’t be attending.
• If your child is unwell at nursery you will be contacted and asked to collect your child, if necessary.
• If your child has a prescribed medicine, please give it to a member of staff who will ask you to complete a medicine administration form. Please do not leave any medication in your child’s bag, as this could be potentially dangerous if a child found it. Please supply all medication in its original container with the pharmacy label clearly stating your child's name and required dosage.
• ‘Over the counter’ medicine such as pain relief can be administered with written consent from parents. We can only administer ‘over the counter’ medication when requested to do so by a parent and where there is an acceptable health reason to do so.
• A child must have already received the first dose of any new medication that has been prescribed, 24 hours prior to attending nursery in case the child has an allergic reaction to it.
• Exclusion policies apply to children who are ill or infectious, advice will be given on the period of exclusion from nursery.
• Fees are required to be paid in full for sickness or absence.
