Child Protection & Safeguarding

The NSPCC states that Safeguarding is "the action that is taken to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm" and is a statutory (legal) duty that all Ofsted registered childcarers must bear as part of their obligations under the EYFS Statutory Framework. It covers everything from Health & Safety through to nutrition and requires effective partnership with parents and our regulators to deliver in full. We break them into 3 broad areas:

Child Protection

The policies that ensure that our children and the people who work with them and interact with them are always protected from harm, abuse and neglect, including the work we undertake with regulators

Safeguarding

Health & Safety

What policies we have in place to ensure health and safety guidance is followed to minimise risk to the children within our care and what procedures we follow in the event of an emergency

Health & Safety

Nutrition

We take infant food nutrition hugely seriously - it is the energy that helps with brain development and can have a huge impact on attention, focus and behaviour. We want it balanced and healthy

Health & Safety

Making Safety our Chief Priority

Understanding and learning how to navigate and manage risk is a key part of child development. We do not believe that children can or should be insulated from the challenges that life poses but rather supervised, mentored and supported in such a way that they can learn to confidently overcome those risks. Our health & safety policies cover off everything from our approach to risk management, how we maintain health & safety across our schools in our day to day practice and more.
