	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.” Child Protection Statement: “The nursery has a duty to be aware that abuse does exist in our society. Our duty is to report any suspicions of abuse or neglect to the Local Authority, which, under the provisions of “The Children Act, 1989 has a duty to investigate these matters. The nursery will follow those procedures set out by the Local Authority.” 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.
