Has anyone re-done their SenD policy this year, to include recent changes April 2015 and to include the LIFT process. If so would anyone be so kind as to share it?

I have looked on the Kelsi website ( I am in Kent) for help with devising my new policy, but no luck. Can anyone help?

Is this still a big no-no? We haven't microwaved baby bottles for years but someone said they did and I wondered if it's still considered unsafe. My thinking is that it's not safe due to the milk not heating evenly (hot spots) and some reaction between the heating and the plastic bottles, but I have a feeling bottles are made of different plastic these days. Any opinions?

Smoking policy

We've been having issues with staff smoking with their nursery uniforms on in our smoking area. My manager wants staff to completely change their clothes where as others have suggested a non smoking site. I personal think both, but is this too harsh? What are other nurseries policies? I'm very concerned about the affects of third hand smoke to the children especially the babies.
