The Importance of Policies and Procedures in Early Years Care
Policies and procedures are essential for delivering high-quality care that meets the standards set by the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). The EYFS requires that providers establish written policies and procedures and provide training to staff during their induction. This ensures that all team members have a thorough understanding and can effectively implement these guidelines.
Moreover, it is vital that these policies and procedures are easily accessible and clearly communicated to parents. Below, you will find some of our policy documentation. The following documents are available for download in pdf format.
Policies and procedures are updated regularly. While the last review was in September 2025, please continue to check this page to stay informed.
