It is our intention to make our service accessible to all families and children in the community.
We aim to do this by:
- Ensuring we advertise in places accessible to all sectors of the community.
- Being as flexible as possible to meet the needs of individual children and families.
- Arranging our waiting list on a first come first served basis, whilst complying with the requirements of our registration.
- Welcoming all children into our setting, regardless of their background (see separate Equal Opportunities (Inclusion) Policy).
Before a child is admitted into our care the following must be in place:
- A contract agreed and signed by ourselves and the parent/carer
- Information on who has parental responsibility and who has legal contact
- An acknowledgement from parents/carers that they have read and agree to our policies and procedures.
- A registration form and permission forms, completed and returned
- An agreed fee payment plan and payment of any necessary advance fees
- A settling in plan
- An initial meeting to meet the child and their parent/carer and discuss any specific needs.
