It is my policy to set clear boundaries for children’s behaviour.
My procedure is always to reward and encourage good behaviour. This could be done verbally or in the form of a reward chart.
I will discuss the boundaries for behaviour with all children, if children understand the boundaries they will feel more secure.
I will take into consideration the age and stage of the child and their individual needs.
Distraction will be used to divert a child’s attention.
Where possible, I will explain why what they have done is wrong.
I will be a positive role model for them at all times.
I will discuss any behaviour issues with parents, where necessary.
I will never humiliate, restrain or isolate a child.
PHYSICAL PUNISHMENT IS NEVER USED.
Policy for Equal Opportunities
My policy is to treat everyone as an individual, and not to discriminate them on their beliefs, needs, abilities, or race.
* I will ensure there are equal opportunities for all children.
* I am happy to provide a range of facilities and activities that will support the child’s culture and beliefs.
* Children with learning difficulties or disabilities will be supported by working closely with the child’s parents/guardians.
* By giving each child in my care the attention they require to give them the equal opportunity to learn and develop.
* By respecting that each child is an individual in their own right.
Accident/Incident Policy
It is my policy to keep children safe when they are in my care.
The safety of your child is very important to me and I will take every measure to protect your child from causing an injury. However, unfortunately accidents do happen, in which case, these are the procedures I will follow:
* I will assess the extent of their injury and if necessary call for medical support/ambulance.
* I will carry any first aid procedures that are necessary as a trained First Aider.
* I will comfort your
