Welfare & wellbeing
We take the welfare of our children and staff very seriously. We have a number of different policies and procedures in place to ensure the health and well-being of the children in our care.
Safeguarding
We recognise our moral and statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all children. We make every effort to provide an environment in which children and adults feel safe, secure, valued, and respected.
We want children and adults to feel confident to talk if they are worried, believing they will be effectively listened to.
The purpose of our safeguarding policy is to provide staff and management committee with the framework they need to keep children safe and secure in our setting.
Children’s rights & entitlements
We promote the child’s right to be strong, resilient and listened to by creating an environment at Blackdown Pre-School that encourages children to develop a positive self-image, which includes their heritage arising from their colour and ethnicity, the languages spoken at home, their religious beliefs, cultural traditions and home background.
We promote the child’s right to be strong, resilient and listened to by encouraging children to develop a sense of autonomy and independence.
We promote the child’s right to be strong, resilient and listened to by enabling children to have the self-confidence and the vocabulary to resist inappropriate approaches.
We help children to establish and sustain satisfying relationships within their families, with peers, and with other adults.
We work with parents to build their understanding of, and commitment to, the principles of safeguarding all our children.
