AnonyMouse_8466 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I bought the PLA policies handbook which has a range of policies linked to the welfare requirements and the four themes of the EYFS. You can download them from the internet and you just need to tailor them to your own needs. It took a while to do them all, but it is much easier to make changes to take out stuff that doesn't apply to you rather than do it all from scratch! I think it costs £15 or something like that for non-members. Worth every penny! Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the olden days policies may well have been linked to the National Standards to show how your setting's practice met them. Linking policies to the EYFS is a good way of demonstrating how you meet the welfare requirements. I don't think it is a requirement, but I have to say it has been a good way of ensuring we're doing everything we should. Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_8466 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 You can find the PLA publications site here. When the book arrives you'll see the download code, and then you can go onto the website and download the policies you need. Enjoy! Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Thank you so much, that link is very much appreciated. I have looked on the website and there seems to be some super books there - spoilt for choice! Is the book with the policies in actually called that - I just can't seem to find it! I sound like a total case don't i, but i have searched for a good while. Sorry to be such a pain. Thanks again! xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find it either. Give them a call on 0870 603 0062 and you can order it over the telephone. If you pay by card they may even give you the download password in advance of your getting the book if you need to make a start. Its the least they can do for having a rubbish website! Oh and the book itself is called Policies and Procedures for the Early Years Foundation Stage (Ref: A080) costs £12.60 for members of the Alliance or £16.75 for non‑members. Good luck.
