Policies and Procedures

Having clear written policies and procedures is an Ofsted requirement and helps us provide outstanding quality early years education for all our children. We regularly review our policies and procedures, as well as our Employee Handbook, to ensure we are delivering best practice in all areas.

If you have any comments or suggestions on how we could improve please speak to our Preschool Manager, Business Manager or Committee Chair.
