Policies and procedures in a nursery
We have a range of nursery policies as well as procedures to ensure your child remains safe in our care.
Policies and procedures are essential to help provide a good quality provision that is compliant with the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). The EYFS requires providers to have written policies and procedures; and to provide staff with training at induction to ensure that they fully understand, and know how to implement, the policies and procedures and to ensure that they are accessible and clearly explained to parents.
