Open Door Policy

Eastfield Community Pre-school operates an Open Door Policy, this ensures that:

• Parents are always welcome at the pre-school

• Parents can stay with their child until they feel settled

• Parents can telephone the pre-school to check on their child at any time during the session

• Parent helpers are invited into the pre-school on a regular rota or on an occasional basis, contributing a wide range of knowledge and skills benefiting the children, staff and other parents.

Change of Details

Parents must inform the pre-school of any change to their child’s registration form immediately,

i.e. change of address, telephone number, emergency contact, medical information, dietary requirements etc

 

Child Safety

To ensure the safety of all children, the pre-school operates a child safety policy:

• Please inform the staff if your child is being collected by anyone other then yourselves, you will be   

• required to fill in a collection slip to authorise this.

• At the end of the session one member of staff will be stood by the entrance and another by the gate. 

• You will be required to name the child you will be collecting, you will then be allowed into the main room

• Please do not send your child to the toilet or for their coat at this point, you must escort

• them outdoors yourself. 

• Please keep clear of the gate area until ready to leave to ensure staffs efficiency for child safety   

• Please remember to close all outside gates

These procedures are in place to ensure the highest level of safety for your child. 

During the settling-in period, staff are not always aware of every child’s parent.
