Independent place nursery

Our policies
Medicines
To administer medicine of any kind we require a parental letter and either a Doctors prescription or letter. These must show the date, times and quantity to be administered. Medicines must be brought in by parents, and clearly labelled with the child’s name. A record is kept of all medicines given and parents/carers guardians must countersign this.
Behaviour
We encourage good behaviour by praise and explanation. The children soon learn what is expected of them and respond to reward, encouragement and disapproval. We never, under any circumstances, use physical punishment in any form. Should unsociable behaviour arise, we explain to the child why such behaviour is not acceptable. Parents are always informed of any behavioural concerns.
Equal Concern Policy
Quality child care involves valuing every child equally, and affirming the positive value of different skin colours, genders, religious, cultural and family backgrounds. We aim to give children a realistic picture of the world they live in, and correct distortions and prejudices about that world. The Nursery has an equal opportunities policy.
Individual Needs Policy
All children are individual and unique. We provide safe, stimulating play and education in an environment where individual needs are met by staff expertise and a wealth of resources.
