To ensure that every session runs smoothly
and safely,
the nurseries have set a series
of policies and guidelines.
Below are statements of the central policies and a list of those others
that we use. For full details, please use the Contact Us facility.
Our mission statement is: “Rum Tum Tugger’s
Nurseries are community based facilities providing the highest standard
of childcare for children in the age range of 3 months to 5 years
. As a team, we aim to ensure that the social, emotional and educational
needs of each child will be met and provided for, using the best possible
care and attention. Our objective is two fold. Firstly, to give parent’s
their first choice in childcare measured by the children’s enjoyment
of the early years experience and secondly, to recognise that a child’s
needs and safety are paramount and must override all other considerations.”
Behaviour Policy Statement: “By positively promoting
good behaviour, valuing co-operation and by demonstrating a caring
attitude, children develop as responsible members of society.”
Health and Safety Statement: “We aim to take
all measures to ensure that the nursery environment is safe and secure,
minimising the risk of injury from hazards and damage to property.
We take responsibility, as far as is practicably possible, to extend
this protection to all users, workers and visitors to our nurseries.”
Equal Opportunities Statement: “We believe
that it is the right of every child and worker, regardless of ability
or needs, to be treated as an equal, with due respect; no religion,
sex or culture is perceived to be inherently superior to any other
and the elimination of racism and sexism can only be to the benefit
of a child.”
Parental Involvement Statement: “We believe that parent/carer
involvement is an integral part of good childcare. We aim to ensure
that all parents/carers feel welcome and comfortable in their child’s
environment. All nursery staff members are committed to providing,
through interaction with parents/carers, the highest quality childcare.”
Safeguarding Children Statement : “The nursery has a duty to be aware that abuse does exist in our society. Our duty is to report any suspicion of abuse or neglect to the Essex Safeguarding Children Board. (ESCB) and will follow the guidelines in the Essex Safeguarding Children Guidelines, (the Lilac Book) in dealing with any suspected incidents.”
Other policies include: “Car Parking, Dropping
Off and Child Collection Policy, Emergency Evacuation Plan, Child
Safety and Security, Exclusion Periods for Communicable Diseases,
Settling-In Policy, Complaints Procedure, Accident Procedures, Medication
Policy and Admissions Policy.
