Policies and procedures
At Daydreams Nursery, we have a range of policies and procedures in place that outline how we operate, define roles and responsibilities.
We have provided a brief overview of some of our key policies. A full list of our policies and procedures is available to view upon request. In addition, each month you will receive a “Policy of the Month” as part of our newsletter to help keep you informed.

Safeguarding
At Daydreams we believe that children have the right to be completely secure from both the fear and reality of abuse and are committed to protecting all the children in our care from harm.
We know that abuse does occur in our society and we are fully aware of the procedures that will be taken if we have reason to believe that a child in our care is subject to either emotional, physical, psychological or sexual abuse or neglect.
Our prime responsibility is the welfare and well- being of all children in our care. As such we believe we have a duty to the children, parents/ main carers, and staff to act quickly and responsibility in any instance that may come to our attention.
Special Educational Needs and Disability
At Daydreams we aim to meet every child’s individual needs. Our local offer is to enable parent’s and carers to see more clearly what services Daydreams has to offer them.
Our ongoing monitoring and assessments procedures will help staff to identify children with special needs as early as possible.
If parents have any concerns about children’s behaviour, speech, or general language development, please talk to a member of staff.
We will always discuss concerns with you and will, if appropriate, seek additional support from outside agencies with consent.
Equal opportunities
At Daydreams we provide an atmosphere where all individuals are valued and can achieve success so that they begin to develop confidence and a positive self- image.
Equal opportunities are providing for all the children and adults in the pre-school group. All individuals are encouraged to be sensitive to the needs of others and to understand, value and respect all other cultures and beliefs as well as differences in race, gender, class, religion and ability of those in the immediate and wider environment. We aim to provide an atmosphere where all individuals are valued and can achieve success so that they begin to develop confidence and a positive self-image.
