Policies and Procedures
Policies and procedures are essential to our childcare setting to help us provide good quality provision that is compliant with the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). We hope that our policies and procedures explain to staff and parents the type of childcare we offer and what actions we take in practice to achieve this.
A copy of the policies and procedures for Upottery Pre-school CIO are kept in the Pre-school foyer, where all parents can access them. A list of our policies is below.
They are continually reviewed, and the most recent version is always in the file in the Pre-school foyer.
