Biting Policy
by Guest- 4 replies
- 720 views
Hi I'm putting together a biting policy. I think it is usually thought of as good practice to always tell the parents of the child that was bitten and the child that has bitten - even if a relativey minor bite? And also not to disclose the identity of the biter to the bitten child's parents. My problem is that our parents all come to collect their children at the same time and in a small room. How do we go about telling both sets of parents whilst protecting their identites - there is no where to go in private - and we can't ask both sets to stay behind - which is are usual option if anything confidential needs to be said. I could always phone them before h…

Unfortunately we have had 2 seperate incidents of children hitting and pinching 2 members of staff, they were on totally different days and neither child witnessed the other one doing it. The first one was because at story time boy "A" was told he couldn't sit next to a certain other child because they had both been extremely "challenging" all session. "A" was not at all impressed in not getting his own way so he kicked the chair over, staff member spoke to him calmly and said that behaviour was not allowed at pre school and asked him nicely to pick up the chair again so we could all sit for a nice story, child A then started shouting through gritted teeth and kept sa…

Hello, me again ! Has any of you lovely people have a fees policy I can have a look at ? I know each setting probably have different ways of billing their parents etc, but I just want to know what is suppose to be included in the policy. So I can get it right when I have a go at writing my own ! Well I know its not technically my job to write the policies but I'm getting a bit impatient with waiting for the committee to come up with one, I've been waiting for nearly 18 months and two committees ! Perhaps if I have one already in hand and wave it at them everyday they may decide to look at it and (I think i'm being a bit too hopeful !) just maybe they will adopt it al…

I have just been informed that we need to have a manual handling policy. Before I start to write one up, I was wondering if anyone out there already has one that they could share with me? If not I will attempt to write one up and post it on here.

Speaking To New Parents

Hi, just want your thoughts and advice please on a scenario that happened earlier today... About an hour into pre-school session today there was a knock at the door, to which I answered to a lady with her young children who I haven't seen before and wasn't aware of any new parents (we have only had 2 children start this term). Lady explains she was sent a prospectus and is interested in putting child in for one session a week starting Friday if we have space. She hasn't arranged a visit, just decided to turn up out of the blue. Leader says after that she hasn't sent her a prospectus so must have been our admin colleague. Anyway leader is in middle of activity so I ask …
