variety of relevant issues such as food hygiene, Epi-Pen, and Equal Opportunities.
We have both gained our NVQ3 in Childcare Learning & Development qualification. We are

equipped with fire safety products. We also have a thorough fire escape plan and teach fire
drills to the children in our care, as well as road safety skills and management for other daily
hazards.

Learning to inform our assessments and planning for supporting your child's development and
identify where support is needed.

your child's protection, including CCTV for the garden which is totally enclosed, baby monitor in
the home, distance monitors, personal alarms and identity tags for your child when out and
about.
