Arrival and departure procedure

Arrival and departure procedure

 

Aim of policy

 

To give clear guidance on how we record arrivals and departures to the setting.

 

Points to consider

 

At Castle Daycare and Preschool we do not allow children under 18 to collect children from the setting.

We keep records of each child’s full name, address and date of birth as well as hours of attendance.

 

Castle Daycare and Preschool aim to do this by:

 

We ask every parent and carer to record their child’s arrival and departure on our registers. Staff will check these registers frequently to ensure the children have all be signed in and out correctly.

 

Staff are also required to sign in and out of the premises.

 

All visitors to the setting are required to sign the visitor’s book and record: their full name, the name of their organisation or link to child, the purpose of their visit and accurate details of arrivals and departure times.

 

During the settling in sessions Parents are asked who, if anyone, is allowed to collect their child. Parents set their own password which can be given to people the parent has nominated to collect their child. Parents are asked to inform the nursery of who will be collecting their child even if it is one of the nominated people.

 

In rare circumstances the nursery may allow a child to be collected by someone other than the Parent or nominated person, if requested to do so by the parent.        In these circumstances we will:

• Ask the parent to give the person collecting the password
• Ask the parent for  the person collecting full name and description
• When the person collecting arrives we will check the password and ask for id before allowing them to collect the child.
• The person collecting will be asked to sign the child out and record the correct departure time.
