Because of this, there is thorough monitoring and observation throughout the first six weeks of a child's attendance at Willand Pre-School. All staff members are aware of the various emotional requirements of the children who initially attend.
Before your kid begins school, we assign a key person to them.
A kid will have a designated staff member who will monitor their growth and establish suitable goals for them under a key person system.
Although you will be asked to parents evening, when you may assess their work, discuss their progress, and participate in their future planning, you can request to meet with your child's key person at any time.
CCTV is available every single day.
We are unable to open the front door and let you into the lobby when you arrive to pick up your kid at the conclusion of any session until the upstairs room's youngsters have securely entered the downstairs room.
We need you to provide us your child's "Password" for our own convenience.
You will be able to provide the necessary password to anybody who has to pick up your kid urgently, and we will then be able to release your child into their care.
If your kid has been diagnosed with an infectious condition, you MUST let us know right away.
We must request that they be kept at home for 48 hours if they have been ill and/or diarrhoeic.
If you have signed our drugs document, we can provide medication.
