Settling:
Babes in the Wood Creche is proud to announce that our service has developed and implemented our own Child Safeguarding Statement.
Our staff working with children are compliant and fully trained to provide quality childcare with child protection and welfare as our principles
At Babes In The Wood Creche we settle children in by introducing them over a period of days to the crèche before they start with us. During this time we aim to build a bond and trust with the child settling and use this time to get to know not only the child but also the parents and their family and their routine from home.
We are very keen on communication between the settling and home and have numerous ways of staying in touch with parents and families. Most importantly we operate an open door policy and we welcome parents calling at any time of the day should they need to check on their little one, have a question, query or concern.
​
Our creche cooperates with Child Diary, the learning journal where parents can track their own children activities throughout the day. It gives parents an instant access to information on their children play, meals and other activities.
