Policies

As a registered childminder I have many different policies in place to help parents/carers understand the procedures that will be followed to ensure their child’s safety and well-being at all times.

These policies help to keep a high standard of health and care for your child. Please find below a list of the main policies:

• Administering Medication Policy
• Complaints Procedure
• Confidentiality Policy
• Emergency Evacuation Procedures
• Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy
• Fee Charging Policy
• Health & Safety Policy
• Illness Policy
• Large Play Equipment
• Missing Child Procedure
• Mobile Phone and Camera Policy
• No Smoking Policy
• Overnight Care Policy
• Pets Policy
• Promoting Healthy Living Policy
• Safeguarding Policy
• Supporting Positive Behaviour Management Policy
• Uncollected Child Procedure

All parents/carers are required to read the policies and complete all contract forms. Permission forms will also be brought to your attention when required. Parents/Carers should expect this process to take at least one hour. Some parents may think this process is excessive, but childminding has moved on considerably and all must follow strict guidelines and be registered with Ofsted, have appropriate qualifications and training as well as being adequately insured and regularly inspected.
