No Smoking policy

No Smoking policy

 

Aim of policy

 

To highlight the nursery stance on Smoking.

 

Points to consider

 

Castle Daycare & Preschool accept that smoking and passive inhalation of smoke is harmful to health.  The Company also adopts the position that this is particularly so for children in the early stages of their physical development.  Accordingly we have a strict no smoking policy for all areas of the Nursery and external play areas including staff room and adult space. 

 

Procedures relating to the no smoking policy

 

By Law No one shall smoke in any part of the Nursery or the external play areas

 

·               If a member of staff is found smoking in any part of the Nursery or external play areas they will be subject to disciplinary action

 

·               If a parent or visitor to the Nursery is found smoking in any part of the Nursery or external play areas their attention will be drawn to the no smoking policy and they will be asked to extinguish the cigarette

 

Staff will be permitted to smoke:

·               In a location away from the Nursery and external play areas and car park.
