Playgroup Policies

Safety

We would be grateful if you would provide your child with soft shoes or slippers for playgroup.

Please ensure your child does not bring toys or sweets to playgroup.

Children cannot be left at playgroup before 09.15 a.m. and must be collected no later than 11.45 for insurance purposes.

A fire drill is practised once every month.

Routine safety checks and risk assessments are carried out at appropriate intervals.

Entry and exit to the premises are controlled by an electronic entry system. Child safety gates are in position inside the front door and at the kitchen door. Please ensure that you close them after use.

All Playleaders have current First Aid Certificates and are fully Disclosed.

Adult:child ratios are set by the Care Commission and are adhered to at all times. These ratios include staff and rota parents.

Child Protection

Your child's well being is paramount and we have a duty to report any concerns regarding their care and welfare to the appropriate authorities. Staff have undertaken child protection training.

Discipline

No form of punishment is used in Ferryfield Playgroup. Staff introduce the children into a caring environment and encourage them to consider the effect of their actions on others. We aim to help the children to develop a sense of self-discipline and consideration for others.
