You will be asked to sign your child in and out of the Nursery. This then hands over responsibility for the care and welfare of your child to us for their time at Nursery on that day.
If anyone other than the designated person known to the Nursery is to collect your child please inform the manager. Proof of identity and a password known to First Steps and the designated carer will be required on arrival
Health and Safety
At First Steps Nursery, we aim to provide a clean, safe and healthy environment for your child to learn and play, therefore it is of the utmost importance that you do not bring your child to Nursery if they are unwell or have a contagious illness or disease. (please refer to our full Health & safety policy for more details) Not only does this protect other children and families in the Nursery, but it also protects the staff who provide care to each child in the Nursery.
We employ a cleaner to uphold our high standards of cleanliness throughout the Nursery and our Managers are trained in Health and Safety and Risk Assessments, First Aid and Food Hygiene. In the event of an accident to a child or member of staff the nearest ‘First Aider’ would administer the appropriate level of first aid. However in the event of a more serious accident a senior staff member would be called to decide on further action to be taken and the parent/carer informed immediately.
All accidents/incidents are recorded and kept on file in the office to be signed by the parent/carer on collection. Should a child sustain an injury outside of the Nursery we would request that you inform us fully and complete and sign an accident/incident existing injuries form on arrival.
