All about me

We are aware that when your child starts daycare you have a lot of forms to complete but the ‘All About Me’ pack is vital for the staff within the rooms working directly with your child/children. It gives us a clear understanding of your child’s likes and dislikes and enables us to have a sound knowledge of the family before they settle within the setting.

Documentation required

The information pack provided is for you to keep for future reference but we will require you to provide us with the following documentation:

Registration pack – completed
‘All About Me’ pack – completed
Signed contract (back page only)
Immunisation record
Birth Certificate
Utility bill
Any court orders or name change details.

Entering the setting

Our signing in register is situated in the entrance to the setting. All children must be signed in and out at the beginning and end of each session. There is an intercom system in use for each room.

Times

Our Opening times are from 8.00am until 6.00pm, Monday to Friday 50 weeks of the year. Morning sessions start from 8.00am until 1.00pm. Afternoon sessions start from 1.00 pm until 6.00pm. We also offer rising 3 hours and Wrap around care for children. This is to be discussed and agreed on an individual basis with the Daycare Manager. Any children collected late will incur a £10.00 charge.

Holidays

Children are entitled to 2 weeks annual leave per year. We start the holiday year alongside the start of the financial year which is April.

Holiday forms are available in the entrance and are to be completed when requesting leave.

If your child attends on a ‘rising 3’ basis they will follow the typical school year holidays. Holiday forms must be completed if you wish to take a holiday through term time.
