Hygiene - staff actively promote children's hand washing:

- after handling animals

DENTAL POLICY
Children's first teeth are important because, apart from being needed for chewing and speaking, they help to keep spaces for the permanent teeth. If the first teeth are well looked after, than it is more likely that the second teeth will grow into their correct position. Staff actively promote dental hygiene

IMMUNISATION POLICY
Immunisation is the main tool for the prevention of infectious diseases in young children.
The centre believes in protecting children from infectious diseases where possible and therefore will maintain immunisation records for each child.
Parents who immunise their child will be asked to complete records on enrolment and update these as appropriate.
Parents of un-immunised children will be asked to state that in writing.

Children must be immunised according to the current immunisation schedule.
Updated Immunisation Booklets, with information is available to every parent.

SUN PROTECTION POLICY
The purpose of this policy is to ensure that all children attending our centre are protected from skin damage caused by harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun.
" POLICY APPLIES ALL YEAR AROUND"
