PARENTS / CARERS AS PARTNERS

We recognise parents as the first and most important educators of their children.

Daisy-Chain aims to support parents/carers in their child’s learning.

Parents/carers are welcomed:

· to work in the group with the children

· to offer suggestions, to share their hobbies/ skills/ interests with the children and staff

· to assist with fundraising

We cannot emphasise enough how much we would appreciate any time that you may be able to offer.

Thank you.

DAY CARERS AND SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN

As a provider of day care registered with Ofsted, I am required to follow the Child Protection procedures agreed through Wiltshire Local Safeguarding Children Board.

As a provider involved in the care of your child, I will try at all times to share with you any concerns I may have. However, I do have a duty to refer to Social Services if I suspect that child abuse may be an issue. My first concern will always be the welfare of your child. I have a copy of the Local Safeguarding Children Board procedures and Guidance for you to see if you wish. You may also see Daisy Chain’s Child Protection Policy and Procedures.

Our local Social Services duty office is:

If your child has sustained an injury prior to coming to pre-school, please inform staff in case of any developments. If we notice any injury, we will ask for details to eliminate any injury caused at pre-school. You will always be informed of any accident or incident occurring whilst you child is in our care.
