Providing a Positive Environment for Nursery Children
This document is designed for a Childcare and Education Student to explain how Oak Tree Nursery Class provides a positive environment for its children.
Here at Oak tree Nursery Class we strive to make sure the children are cared for within a positive environment. A positive environment means that as well as ensuring the physical environment is a safe and pleasant one, we also need to make sure the children and their families feel welcome and wanted when they enter Oak Tree Nursery class. We aim to do this by;
Treating each child as an individual and meeting their individual needs by acknowledging parents ' wishes and beliefs.
Ensuring all routines and activities are based around the child to incorporate their individual abilities and requirements.
Promoting a happy and relaxed atmosphere, with all staff working together as part of a team.
Ensuring all staff is qualified and trained fully in their relevant areas and to maintain high standards of hygiene.
Operating a zero-tolerance work place for abuse, whether verbal or physical, or discrimination of any kind.
Here in Oak Tree Nursery Class we aim to meet the health and safety requirements set out by the law as best as we can. A full list of all regulations is available on request.
Health & safety
We have a designated first Aider on site at all time and constantly monitor the qualifications this person holds so they can be updated when necessary. There is a first aid box available should a minor incident occur.
COSHH
A list of substances considered hazardous is on display throughout the nursery and all these substances are locked away with only the Manager and Supervisor having keys- thus preventing accidents from happening
RIDDOR
A note of all accidents and diseases are kept within the accident book. We have two accident books, one for staff and another for children. It is important these books remain
