The layout of our policies and procedures is changing this academic year. The content of the policies is mostly the same, except:
-
we have replaced our plug inserts with plug covers
-
we have completed allergen training, added allergen details to our menus, and use a separate toaster for gluten-free food
-
we now have nursery mobiles which must be used on walks instead of personal phones
-
no bleach is used in the setting
-
we will only administer emergency paracetamol to under 2s
Please speak with Vicki (nursery manager), Radka (deputy manager) or Carly (third in charge) if you have any questions. Thank you!
