I know that the regsitration from contains all the necessary things like contact details, medical history and details, etc. etc - what I'm looking for is the "extra" bits that are going to help the staff make the child feel secure and happy.......I think I've got everything but there's always something that you haven't thought of that would make a difference! Thank you!

Bomb Scare Procedures

Just been told we should have one in place, just a few more trees to cut down!! Now thinking about creating this policy/procedure for my nursery. Would anyone care to put me on the right track with some samples. I know it will be individual to my setting, but some ideas of wording and contents would be great, also, who I would need to contact, police etc. Thinking I will tweak my fire evacuation procedures to cover this are too? Any thoughts?
