Health and Safety
The nursery is up-to-date with all health and safety practice but we run a rolling policy where everyone is responsible
for any problems throughout the day and not to walk past any spill or any potential hazard. We are very hands-on and
constantly walk throughout the nursery checking on staff and looking for potential hazards.
Cleaning
No child will enter the nursery before a morning clean and health and safety checklist has been completed. We also
keep cleaning throughout the day and employ a cleaner to give the nursery a deep-clean at weekends.
Outside Play
At the Teddy Bears Inn, we believe children should have constant access to an outside environment. However, the
safety of all children comes first. So, during extreme weather conditions, outside play will only be available when it is
safe to do so. We ask parents to provide appropriate 50+ factor suncream but, with your permission, we will apply ours
if needed.
Parents Partnership
All staff are available to parents at all times. However, a more formal meeting can be organised.
Allergies
Children with allergies are catered for. We have taken it upon ourselves to go above and beyond normal nursery
practice. We have a picture of all children with allergies in the kitchen and we also operate a laminated table mat system
where any child with an allergy will have a red border to highlight any ingredients which needs to be excluded.
Learning Journals
Staff constantly make notes of a child’s development and will record it. These folders are always available for parents to
read and track children’s EYFS progress.
Key Person System
At the nursery, we deliver a Key Person system. They will be the child’s main carer while at the setting and deal with all
their needs. They shall also be the main communication between the nursery and the family. This strong relationship is
what will help your child settle and feel safe. Happy and secure children learn, develop and thrive.
