Policies and Procedures

A successful nursery is combination of skilled and caring people with efficient and effective policies. We acknowledge that our policies and procedures are fundamental to ensuring we maintain the highest standards at all times. There are over 75 policies and procedures that govern the way we operate our nursery and these will be openly published to parents and Ofsted alike. These include, health and safety, equal opportunities, child behaviour, parent partnership, staffing, nursery operations and child protection.

Policies and procedures are at the heart of everything we do and for that reason they have to be maintained and measured. Our quality assurance programme will ensure that our processes are always kept to the highest standards.

Every month we put a "Policy of the Month" on our Parent's Noticeoard which all parents/carers are welcome to browse through. We encourage feedback and comments from all parties.

Below are listed some of our policies and procedures. Over time we will publish some of these policies in full and you will be able to click on the relevant document to download the complete version.

We've provided a couple of sample policies highlighted in green, which can be downloaded.
