MEDICINES POLICY


Rationale
I am committed to ensuring that children with short or long-term medical conditions receive the care and medication needed for them to participate in the setting if they are well enough to attend. In order to achieve this, I am willing to administer medication providing I have the medical

or technical knowledge to do so and have written parental permission. 


Procedure
Medicines will not normally be administered unless a doctor, dentist, nurse or pharmacist has prescribed them for the child. I will only administer prescribed medicine for the child it is prescribed for. I will not administer any medication containing aspirin unless a doctor has prescribed it. 


Non-prescription medication may be given with prior written permission from parents/carers when there is a health reason to do so. For non-prescription medication named on the consent form,

you will be contacted before I administer the medicine to your child.


All medication must be supplied in the original packaging and clearly labelled with your child’s name and will be stored according to product instructions. The first dose of each medicine should always be given at home with sufficient time to observe the child’s responses to the medicine before the child is brought to my setting. Where possible, please try to arrange that medication will only be administered at home before and after attending my setting. Where this isn’t possible, I will obtain written permission for each and every medicine including dosage from parents/carers before any medication is given. Parents/carers will be informed when medication has been administered and asked to sign medication records on the day the medication is given or as soon as reasonably practicable.

NON-COLLECTION OF CHILDREN POLICY


Rationale
I aim to liaise closely with parents/carers to ensure that collection times for children are clearly understood so that I can help prepare children for home time. Even young children can use routines to start to learn about time such as ‘after snack or after George goes home it’s my turn’.  I request that parents/carers keep me informed as to any changes to agreed collection times as soon as possible. 


Procedure
If a child is not collected within 30 minutes of the agreed collection time and I haven’t heard from parents/carers, I will call the parents/carers’ contact numbers. If there is no response, I will try to contact any alternative contact numbers given to me for the child and

during this time, I will continue to care for the child. 


I will continue to try to contact parents/carers and other authorised adults until 60 minutes from the agreed collection time. I will then contact the local children’s social care

services and follow any advice given by them.


If I am unable to continue caring for your child until you can be contacted and make arrangements for the collection of your child, there is a possibility that your child may be placed with an alternative carer.

NUTRITION POLICY

Childminder Provided Meals


Rationale
I understand that it is important to help children develop patterns of healthy eating and drinking from an early age. Children need to eat a variety of foods including fruits, vegetables and fluids to make sure they get all the dietary components they need to grow and develop healthily. 


Procedure
Parents/carers will be asked to provide written information about which meals and snacks are to be provided (this may incur an additional charge); any dietary requirements due to allergy, culture or lifestyle choice and these will be acted upon. If a child is on a special diet, the parents/carers may be asked to provide their child’s food if it is not possible for the food to be provided or prepared by my setting. All food and drink are prepared to provide a healthy balanced diet in accordance with the recommendations by the Food Standards Agency. I involve the children in the preparation of some foods in order to create an interest in trying new foods while helping them to learn which foods

help to keep our bodies strong and healthy and which foods need to be eaten less frequently.


Food is prepared, stored and cooked in line with my Health and Safety Policy. I have clean and age-appropriate crockery and eating utensils however, I will respect the parent/carer’s diverse needs culturally or lifestyle choices about eating practices e.g. eating with fingers. I will carry

out good hand-washing procedures when handling food and ensure the

children are aware of how and when to wash their hands.


 Parents will be informed about the foods their child has been offered and eaten. Children will never be made to eat foods they dislike or do not want but children do not always welcome a new food the first time it is offered. New additions to the menu will be offered a few times to give children a chance to try

them and increase the variety of foods they will eat. If children refuse to eat their main course,

dessert will still be offered as the dessert will be a nutritious part of the meal. 


Children are offered a choice of water or milk with meals and

fresh drinking water is available at all times. Sweets and treats are offered occasionally if

parents/carers agree and always after meals in order to not affect a child’s appetite.


If there is an outbreak of food poisoning affecting two or more children looked after on my premises, I will report this to Ofsted as soon as is reasonably practicable, but in any event within 14 days of the incident. I will also inform the local Environment Heath Department. I will follow any advice given and I will keep all food receipts in case they are needed to trace the outlet where the food was purchased.

NUTRITION POLICY

Parent Provided Meals


Rationale
I understand that it is important to help children develop patterns of healthy eating and drinking from an early age. Children need to eat a variety of foods including fruits, vegetables and fluids to make sure they get all the dietary components they need they need to grow and develop healthily.


Procedure
Parents/carers will be requested to provide written information regarding any dietary requirements due to allergy, culture or lifestyle choice and these will be acted upon and implemented when providing snacks and drinks. I will provide snacks for the children. If a child is on a special diet, the

parents/carers may be asked to provide their child’s snacks if it is not

possible for the food to be provided or prepared by my setting.


Parents/carers are requested to bring children’s meals to the childminding setting. These can be a packed lunch or a hot meal for re-heating. All foods provided either by parents/carers or myself are prepared, cooked, stored appropriately and re-heated in line with my Health and Safety policy. I will provide clean and age-appropriate crockery and eating utensils, however I will respect the parent/carer’s diverse needs culturally or lifestyle choices about eating practices e.g. eating

with fingers. I will carry out good hand-washing procedures when handling food and

ensure the children are aware of how and when to wash their hands.


If children refuse to eat their main course, dessert will still be offered as the dessert will be a nutritious part of the meal and information can be provided on request about suitable foods to include in a child’s diet. Parents/carers will be informed about the foods their child has been offered and eaten. Children are only offered additional foods to the food provided by parents/carers with their knowledge and permission. I will not offer the food provided by parents/carers to any other child and

children will never be made to eat foods they dislike or they do not want.


All snacks and drink are prepared to provide a healthy balanced diet in accordance with the recommendations by the Food Standards Agency. I involve the children in the preparation of some snacks in order to create an interest in trying new foods while helping them to learn which foods help to keep our bodies strong and healthy and which foods need to be eaten less frequently.


Children are offered a choice of water or milk with meals and snacks and

fresh drinking water is available at all times. Sweets and treats are offered occasionally if

SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN POLICY


Rationale
My first responsibility and priority is towards the children in my care and their welfare and well-being is paramount under Section 27 of the Children Act 1989, Section 40 of the Children Act 2006 and the government document Working Together to Safeguard Children 2018. Child abuse happens to children and young people of both sexes, at all ages and in all cultures, religions and social classes and both to children and young people with and without disabilities. Abuse includes the risk of peer on peer abuse which may happen in person or online. If I

have any cause for concern, I will report it, following the Shropshire

Safeguarding Community Partnership (SSCP) procedures.


As the registered childminder, I Ali Lucia take the lead responsibility for safeguarding children within the setting and ensure that policies and procedures are fit for purpose.


Procedure
I am familiar with the relevant local procedures and am aware of where to find the most

updated information. The procedures can be found by viewing the Safeguarding Shropshire Children website 

(www.safeguardingshropshireschildren.org.uk) or can be contacted on 0345 678 9044


As an early years setting, I have regard to the government’s statutory guidance documents: ‘Working Together to Safeguard Children’ and the ‘Prevent duty guidance for England and Wales’. I also have access to other helpful documents such as ‘What to do if you are worried a child is being abused’; and ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’. These

documents would be referred to if a relevant situation arose.

​

I am aware of the indicators of physical, sexual and emotional abuse and neglect, or a mixture of these types of abuse; and of specific situations that may indicate that the main categories are involved, such as domestic abuse, forced marriage, peer on peer abuse, substance misuse, gang activity, female genital mutilation, child sexual exploitation, radicalisation and extremism.

I am aware that inappropriate adult behaviour may constitute the grooming

or conditioning of children for an abusive interaction.


Children who have special educational needs or disabilities are more vulnerable to abuse due to factors such as lack of communication skills, reliance on others for intimate care and limited

social experiences. I recognise the need to consider changes of behaviour and not

attribute them to their disability but consider abuse as for any other child. 


As an early years setting, I have a duty to have due regard to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism under section 26 of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015. This duty is known as the Prevent Duty. If I have concerns that a child or young person is at risk of radicalisation, extremism or being drawn into terrorism, I can seek advice from the Department for Education’s dedicated helpline on 020 7340 7264 or email counter.extremism@education.gov.uk. If I identify patterns of behaviour that lead me to believe a child or young person is engaged in an

ideology, or is intent in causing harm or is capable of committing violent acts,

Children’s Social Care team will be contacted. Their number is 0345 678 9021


Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a practice that takes place worldwide in at least 28 African countries and in parts of the Middle and Far East. It also takes place within parts of Western Europe and other developed countries, primarily among immigrant and refugee communities. Women and girls from UK communities that are at risk of FGM include those in Somali, Kenyan, Ethiopian, Sierra Leonean, Sudanese, Egyptian, Nigerian, Eritrean, Yemeni, Kurdish and Indonesian. Early years practitioners are required by law to report to the police known cases of (FGM) involving a girl under the age of 18 as it is illegal in the UK.If I am concerned

that a girl has or is at risk of FGM I will report this immediately to the

local Children’s Social Care on 0345 678 9021


I aim to provide an environment where all children feel safe and can talk to me when they are worried about anything, enabling me to provide or seek any additional support that may be required. Any instances of discriminatory or derogatory language or behaviour (including language that is about disabled people or is homophobic or racist) will be

challenged and an explanation given as to why it is unacceptable.


As the designated safeguarding lead, I will keep up to date with child protection issues and relevant legislation by completing frequent refresher training courses and regularly check

that I have the latest version of the relevant procedures by accessing them online.


I understand that children will be absent from the setting for varying reasons. For some children, repeated unexplained periods of absence; or leaving unexpectedly can mean that they are subject to, or at risk of, abuse or exploitation. I use attendance records to monitor children’s attendance and absences and will report any concerning periods of absence to the local team.


With the increase in usage of information technology (IT) within today’s society, it is vital to safeguard children against potentially harmful exploitation. Any IT equipment used within my setting has appropriate filters in place to protect children from harmful online material. It is requested that any IT equipment children bring from home is also protected with appropriate filters. Children will be able to use IT equipment where I can safely supervise their activity and will only have access to computer games or use social media sites that are listed as suitable for their age or their development stage. I understand the risks involved with games that can be played online with users from outside the setting. I will help children to understand that they should not give any personal information to people they do not know because sometimes people pretend to be someone else when online. I will tell children that I understand that the internet is a great tool for fun and learning but that they should speak up and not keep secrets if something is worrying them. I will help them to know how to identify and use the report abuse buttons that appear on websites and games if they experience something that upsets them online.  I use the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) ‘Share Aware’ information to help me to understand the apps, games and networks that are commonly used by children of different ages and the potential dangers with these. If I become aware of a situation

that is potentially abusive, I will report it to the local Children’s Social Care team.


Consent for taking photographs and the use of these images if applicable, will be given by parents/carers in my consent agreements. I use photographic equipment including my setting specific mobile phone to take images of a child’s development. These images will only be stored and used in line with parental written consent. The setting is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office, which means that I abide by strict guidelines for the storage and use of photographic images. All photographic devices used in my setting will be protected with a password known only to me. I aim to ensure that any photographic equipment including

any mobile phones are not accessible to anyone else without permission. When my setting specific mobile phone is used as a phone, it is only used for essential calls enabling me to always meet the needs of the children. I ensure that all minded children are protected against exploitation from others by never leaving a child out of my sight with an individual who is in possession of a camera or photographic device which may be used inappropriately (children will not have access to any photographic device including mobile phones whilst in my care, without permission). My personal phone will never be used to take photographs of children in the setting.


Parents/carers must notify me of any concerns they have about their child and any pre-existing accidents, incidents or injuries affecting the child, which will be recorded and

signed by the parent/carers(s) on the day of entry.


If I am concerned about a child’s welfare and wish to discuss my concerns, I may contact the NSPCC or other relevant local support services for advice including the Children’s Social Care team. Confidentially will be assured only when there is no risk of harm to a child. In the

case of an emergency, the police will be contacted directly.


If I notice:

  • significant changes in a child’s behaviour 


  • unexpected bruising or marks or signs of possible abuse


  • any comments made which give me cause for concern


  • deterioration in general well-being which causes concern


  • signs of neglect or abuse outside the setting


  • inappropriate behaviour displayed by any other child/young person encountering the child


  • I will keep a factual record of the concern and will ask the parents/carers for an explanation, and signature, on the same day, providing it would not put the child at risk. I will implement the local procedures without delay to minimise any risk to the child, unless I believe it may place the child at risk.



If a child tells me that they or another child is being abused, I will:

  • acknowledge their allegation and reassure them that it will be taken seriously and encourage the child to talk, without prompting or asking them leading questions. The child will not be interrupted when they are recalling significant events or made to repeat their account. I may use questioning techniques which involve using non-leading, open–ended questions that start with Tell, Explain or Describe known as the TED questioning techniques.


  • explain what actions must be taken, in a way that is appropriate to the age and understanding of the child


  • record what has been disclosed using exact words where possible


  • make a note of the date, time, place and people who were present at the discussion


  • I would then report the concerns immediately to the local Children’s Social Care team who have the experience and responsibility to assess the situation.


​

In all instances, a record will be made of:

  • the child’s full name and address


  • the date and time of the record


  • factual details of the concern, for example bruising, what the child said, who was present


  • details of any previous concerns


  • details of any explanations from the parents/carers


  • any action taken such as speaking to parents/carers



If an allegation of serious harm or abuse by any person living, working, or looking after children at the premises or elsewhere is made, it will be reported to Ofsted and include the action taken in respect of the allegations. These notifications must be made as soon as is reasonably practicable, but at least within 14 days of the allegations being made.  The local procedures will also be followed including reporting it directly to the Designated Officer (DO) within 1 working day of the allegation being made. My insurance company will be contacted,

together with any local support that is available.


If I, as the safeguarding lead, am observed displaying inappropriate behaviour then the observer must report the incident directly to Ofsted and the DO following the procedure stated above.


It is not my responsibility to attempt to investigate a situation myself.

SAFETY ON OUTINGS POLICY


Rationale
Outings offer children valuable fresh air and exercise as well as enabling them to experience what the community has to offer. I am committed to providing a variety of outings for minded

children and aim to keep them safe at all times whilst on outings. 


Procedure
I will obtain written parental permission to include children in outings. On outings, we may be walking, travelling by public transport or by car. Children are always transported safely and appropriate buggies, car seats and walking reins are used where appropriate. I aim to keep all children within sight or hearing at all times to prevent them becoming lost. In the

unlikely event of a child becoming lost, I will follow my lost child policy.


I hold appropriate car insurance and the car is kept in roadworthy condition, with full MOT if appropriate, breakdown cover and with tyre pressure regularly checked. If your child is

transported by any other driver in their own vehicle or my own, I will check all the

above and that they have age appropriate car safety seats.


When using a bus, we wait on the pavement back from the kerb and children are

not permitted to get on or off the bus until it has stopped moving.


I always carry a mobile phone that is charged and has credit on it and parent/carer’s contact numbers in the phone book. I also carry with me the contact details of my emergency back-up who will be able to collect your child or assist anyone trying to contact you should anything

have happened to me. All essential equipment is taken on outings including,

first aid kit, sun cream, spare clothing, nappies etc. 


Visual risk assessments are carried out for and during each outing. Children who are not in buggies are encouraged to walk close to me to avoid danger from moving traffic. When visiting parks, young children are closely supervised when playing near or on play equipment and older children are reminded of the dangers. Care is taken to avoid uneven surfaces that may encourage trips and falls for younger children. Children are discouraged from approaching unfamiliar

dogs. In farm parks, children are shown how to safely touch and feed animals and

hand-sanitising gel is used if soap and warm running water is not available after

touching animals. Visual checks are carried out in parks and open spaces for

dangers such as animal faeces and sharp objects and these are removed by

me if safe to do so, or children are moved to a safe area to continue playing. 


When near water, all children are closely supervised and where possible are encouraged to stay behind barriers. Children are reminded of how to remain safe if standing near the water’s edge

if feeding ducks and very young children are strapped in buggies. When walking

near open water, care is taken to walk away from the water’s edge. 


When visiting other people’s houses or toddler or childminding groups, visual checks are carried out to ensure that no hot drinks are left at child’s height and that doors are secured or well supervised to prevent children leaving the building unsupervised. Toys and equipment that is in reach of children are checked to ensure they are clean and sound and are removed immediately

if soiled or damaged. After a significant event I will seek additional

support to maintain children’s well-being if needed.

SETTLING IN POLICY


Rationale
Research shows that children learn best when they are healthy, safe and secure, when their individual needs are met and when they have positive relationships with the adults caring for them. In order to achieve this for the children I care for, I aim to provide enough time for children to get to know

me and my childminding setting before parents/carers leave their child with me.


Procedure
I will discuss with parents/carers the individual needs of the child before a place can be offered to ensure that the needs of all children can be catered for. Copies of all policies and procedures will be given to parents/carers before a place can be confirmed in order to help parents/carers

decide if the setting is their choice of childcare provision. 


Settling in visits both with and without parents/carers are provided to help the child become familiar with the setting, the routines, the other children and adults in the setting. This will also start to help me to build an emotional attachment with your child, which will be needed for your child to thrive in my setting. Settling in visits will be timed to allow the child to experience all aspects of care and routine including feed times, nappy changing, sleep times, outings and play. This will reassure

parents/carers that their child is familiar with and happy for these routines

and care to be carried out in parents/carers’ absence.


Settling in visits will be carried out over as long a period of time as needed for both the child and

the parents/carers, but are expected to take several weeks. Written information about

the child, along with written parental consent and a contract need to be in

place before the child can be left without parents/carers.


I will work with parent/carers to ensure I have adequate information about parents/carers’ wishes for their child and will adhere to them wherever possible including likes, dislikes, routines, favourite activities and how to comfort them when needed. I offer a written daily diary containing

information about babies feeding, sleeping and play alongside verbal information exchanges.

SMOKING POLICY


Rationale
I understand the importance of children not being exposed to passive smoking. Evidence shows that passive smoking increases the risk to young children developing lower respiratory tract infections

that can result in hospitalisation. I am committed to ensuring that children are not

exposed to passive smoking while in my care. 


Procedure
No-one living or working in the childminding setting smokes.  Visitors are not permitted to

smoke, use e cigarettes or vape in the house at any time. Visitors are not permitted to smoke in the garden

while minded children are present. For health and safety reasons all

smoking residue will be removed before minded children attend. 


When on outings care will be taken to avoid areas where members of the public are smoking. If someone starts smoking in the vicinity of the minded children when we are out and about we will either move or I will ask the person to stop smoking around the children. I will not visit premises that I know are used by smokers while caring for minded children unless I can ensure that

adequate ventilation of the rooms is possible before children enter.

Page 2: Text

TELEVISION AND GAMES CONSOLES POLICY


Rationale
I believe that watching television in certain conditions can aid young children’s attention, comprehension and vocabulary. Research has shown that having a television on as background noise can be detrimental to a child’s play and concentration and reduce the learning of new vocabulary. I believe that the use of games consoles can help to develop skills such as hand-eye co-ordination

and turn taking. However, I feel that these should be limited in order to encourage children to

participate in a wide variety of experiences, which help build their all-round development.

I aim to use the use of television and games consoles carefully to ensure

that children’s learning is aided and not compromised.


Procedure
I ensure that programmes available to children are suitable for their age and stage of development and will discuss with parents/carers their wishes for the programmes and DVDs they are happy for their child to view. Children are welcome to bring in DVDs from home, but I request that this is discussed with me beforehand to ensure that the content will be suitable for other children attending

and that the DVD is brought on a day when our routines will allow time to watch it.


I aim to always watch television with young children so that we can talk about the programme afterwards and I can model any new vocabulary gained. Viewing time is limited and the television is switched off as soon as the programme is finished or when children lose interest.


Children will be permitted to use games consoles providing the game is intended for their age. I will work with parents/carers to set realistic time scales for the use of games consoles. If children wish to bring in consoles or games from home, I request this be discussed with me beforehand. This

will ensure the content will be suitable for other children attending and brought

on a day when our routines will allow time to play it. 


A very small percentage of people may experience photosensitive epileptic seizures when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games.

If a child is vulnerable to these seizures then such media will not be

watched/played with whilst this child in present.

WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PARENTS/CARERS POLICY


Rationale
Research shows that an on-going dialogue or sharing of regular two-way observations on learning and development with parents/carers, leads to improved cognitive, social and emotional outcome for children. I fully acknowledge that parents/carers are their child’s primary educators. With this in mind and in order to fully meet the needs of the children in my care and to ensure they enjoy and achieve to their full capacity, I actively promote and aim to

develop a good working relationship with parents/carers.


Procedure
I understand that family is important and should feel valued, listened to and made to feel welcome in my home. I actively encourage the views of both parents/carers and children promoting two-way communication at all times. I will provide a warm, welcoming and

professional atmosphere where parents/carers and I can feel at ease to share

and celebrate relevant developmental and daily care information.


I will make parents/carers aware of the range and type of activities and experiences

provided for their child and the daily routines of the setting, demonstrating

how I deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage. 


I will strive for the most convenient way to communicate information with you for example

via daily verbal feedback along with any of the following: photographs, video, emails, text messages, and phone calls. I request that you too regularly share information with me, as it can be vital to identify learning needs, preferences, experiences and abilities of your child, thus enabling me to support your child’s progress more effectively and promote continuity of care. I am always happy to discuss

your child and their care with you at any time that is convenient to us both.


To ensure your child has opportunity to reach their full potential their care and learning must be tailored to meet their individual needs. To do this I will carry out observations and make regular assessments on your child’s learning and development. I will share this with you regularly and I encourage as much input from parents/carers and feedback as possible. 


When your child is aged between two and three I am required to review their progress and provide you with a short written summary of their development. This summary of development aims to identify your child’s strengths, and any areas where your child’s progress is less than expected. If your child splits their time between my setting and another childcare setting the one where the child spends the most time will be responsible for completing the development summary. However, I or the other setting will be expected to contribute to its completion.
If I am responsible for the summary, I will share this with you and discuss how it can be used at home to support your child’s learning. I may be required to share some information about your child’s progress with other agencies but I will discuss this with you and gain your consent prior to sharing. Wherever possible I will provide the summary in time for you to take to your child’s ‘Healthy Child Programme health and development review’ with the health visitor. This

will help the health visitor to identify your child’s needs accurately and fully

- I ask you to inform me when this review is due.


Wherever possible I will endeavour to meet parent/carer’s requests in relation to the care of their children, with respect to beliefs, customs and values. I work in line with my Equal Opportunities policy to ensure all children can be included and empowered to feel valued and unique in my care. If I do not share the same spoken/written language as the family/child, I will

take relevant action to facilitate effective communication. 


In order for me to provide your child with the best care I can it is mutually beneficial for all concerned to promote a consistent approach to caring for your child, therefore I ask parents/carers to discuss and record with me any routines, strategies, health and dietary requirements and expectations they have, not only during the settling in process, but as and when things naturally change and evolve, so not to confuse your child unnecessarily. 


To establish a consistent approach I ask parent/carers to adhere to my Managing Behaviour policy while on my premises. I will challenge any discriminatory and inappropriate behaviour

in line with both my Equal Opportunities and Safeguarding policies to

ensure the well-being of the children within my care.


Other documentation I will be required to record is your child’s full name, date of birth, name and address of every parent/carer who is known to the provider (and other information about any other person who has parental responsibility for the child) which parent/carer the child normally lives with, emergency contact details for parents/carers and consent for various other procedures.


I will draw up and sign a written contract with parents/carers before the placement starts.

The contract will be signed by the parents/carers and myself and dated;

a copy will be provided for the parents/carers. I review the contracts

with parents/carers annually or when circumstances change. 


All information shared will be done so in confidence with the exception of a safeguarding concern, this is in line with my Confidentiality policy, however I will endeavour to discuss any concerns with you if appropriate to do so as in line with my Safeguarding policy.


If you have any concerns or issues regarding the care I am providing for your child please do let me know in line with my Complaints policy. Ofsted details are available on my Complaints procedure and on the Ofsted parent poster on view within my setting and my Ofsted registration certificate is also displayed within my setting. Parents/carers are given a copy of all my policies. Often a concern is a simple misunderstanding that can easily be resolved; un-aired it can fester and become a major issue and goes against the ethos of my Partnership with Parent/carers policy. I will inform you if I am aware of an inspection enabling you to contribute your views

to the inspector and will provide you with a copy of the inspection report.


I look forward to working together and being a part of your child’s most precious years.
