At Blossom Tree we have an extensive range of policies that explain how we work and key roles/ responsibilities for all stakeholders. A full list of our policies and procedures are displayed in the setting and are available upon request.
Safeguarding
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children. We also ensure that there are opportunities for the children to develop the skills they need to recognise and stay safe.
In recognising our responsibilities for safeguarding and child protection, as a nursery we:
- Have clear staff recruitment, selection and training procedures
- Have a Designated Safeguarding Lead
- Raise awareness of child protection issues and equip children with the skills needed to keep themselves safe
- Establish a safe, secure and nurturing environment free from discrimination, where children can learn and develop happily
- Develop and implement procedures for identifying and reporting cases, or suspected cases of abuse
- Identify and provide targeted early help and support
At the nursery, we advocate the Working Together Approach, as safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the children is everyone’s responsibility. Everyone who comes into contact with the children and their families therefore has an important role to play.
