The Importance of Policies and Procedures in Early Years Care
Our policies and procedures play an important role in ensuring we provide high-quality care and education that meets the requirements of the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
The EYFS requires all early years providers to have clear written policies and procedures in place and to ensure that all staff receive appropriate training during their induction. This helps every member of our team understand their responsibilities and consistently follow best practice to keep children safe, supported and thriving.
We also believe it is important that our policies are transparent and easily accessible to parents and carers. Below you will find our policy documents, which are available to download in PDF format.
Please note that these policies and procedures form part of the Terms and Conditions of your contract with New Beginnings Nurseries. By accepting a place with us, you agree to abide by the policies and procedures that are in place from time to time.
Keeping You Informed
Our policies and procedures are reviewed and updated regularly to reflect changes in legislation, guidance and best practice.
We encourage all parents and carers to review these documents regularly to ensure they are familiar with the most up-to-date policies and procedures.
