policies

We thought if parents/carers know the boundaries and social rules of the pre-school, as well as the staff, you would be able to share them with your child:-

• We try to be kind to each other •
• We help each other •
• We share toys and tools •
• We speak without shouting in pre-school •
• We walk in pre-school •
• We sit down quietly when asked •
• We say please and thank you or communicate with gestures •
• We listen to each other when we have something to say •
• We help tidy the toys and put them away correctly •
• We take turns with toys and equipment •
• We do not say unkind things or call each other names •

Some of the boundaries set out by adults for children:-

  • We never label a child as “naughty”: we look at it as unacceptable behaviour
          or acceptable behaviour and work from that point
  • We encourage children to have confidence in themselves
  • We encourage children to wash and dry their own hands
  • We encourage children to wipe their own noses and dispose of the tissue
  • We encourage the children to use all of their senses
  • Children are encouraged to try using all the apparatus with adult support
  • Children are encouraged to take risks under supervision
           e.g. on the climbing frame
  • Children are encouraged to use the computer and mouse
  • We never belittle or embarrass a child
  • We thank the children and praise them for what they have achieved
  • We listen to children and respect their views
  • We encourage the children to be independent
  • The staff and adults in the pre-school are good role models for the children
