Grandparents
Stay and Play
A
big thank you to all of those Grandparents who came to the session on Tuesday.
The
children really loved having you in.
Extra
sessions and siblings
It
is getting to our very busy time of year so we may not be able to offer as many
extra sessions as we normally can. Please still ask though, as long as we have
space we will still do ad hoc sessions.
Also
looking ahead to later in the year and next year, if you have a younger child
who you would like to register or you would like your child to increase days
please talk to us soon as we are looking very busy and we don’t want anyone to
miss out.
As
we are so busy we have taken on a new apprentice Sammy who will start with us
in June. Alba is also coming back as bank staff over the summer.
You
may remember Alba as she used to work at our Markenfield Road setting and
covered with us last year.

forget to check out all the exciting things your child has done this week, on

This week’s activities
Each key person will be responsible for designing
an activity based on their key children’s needs; however, all children who are
in on that day will have the opportunity to access the activity too.
If the key person is on holiday or off, another
staff member will be able to lead the activity in their place so that the
children do not miss out.

stage, the guidance we use to support our planning and practice, please visit:

Policy of the week
Suspected
abuse by an Early Years Worker
Any
suspicion or allegation of child abuse by an early year’s worker must be
reported to the Manager so that a referral can be made.
If
circumstances are such that this is not a viable course of action, (for example
– if it is the Manager that has been accused) then the matter should be
immediately referred to the Operations Manager to refer to OFSTED/Surrey
Safeguarding Children Board, following the flow chart.
The member
of staff making the allegation will be required to give details of the alleged
abuse.
The member
of staff who has had the allegation made against them will be immediately
suspended whilst a full investigation takes place.
If there is
an allegation against a staff member the Manager or DCPO must inform the Surrey
County Council Local Authority Child Protection Designated Officer (LADO) on
0300 2001 006.
Ofsted
will be informed of any allegations of serious abuse or harm by any person
living, working or looking after children at the premises; we must also notify
Ofsted of the action taken in respect of the allegations. These notifications
must be made as soon as is reasonability practical but within at least 14 days
of the allegations being made. If the nursery fails to do this an offence will
have been committed.
See
Appendices 1 for the following:
