Operational Plan

To ensure greater consistency for children and to avoid misunderstandings with parents the nursery has devised its own operational plan incorporating the nursery Policies and Procedures. The operational plan is available to view on request.

The staff recognise each child as an individual and that whilst some children are specially gifted others may require specific needs. Parents are invited to discuss the specific needs of their child.

The Wishing Well has invested in state of the art computer technology to monitor and authorise the parents and guardians that collect your children. Photo’s of all those eligible to collect children can be scanned into the computer so that almost instant confirmation of an individual’s claimed identity can be attained. Parents may also choose to use our Computerised Password System. With all these systems in place parents can relax and feel confident that their child’s safety has been put before all others regardless of expense. Unauthorised personnel will not be eligible to collect the child.

To help guard children and adults against contagious Infections whilst at the nursery the recommended policy by OFSTED on illness has been adopted by the Wishing Well. The nursery reserves the right to refuse a child who appears unwell on arrival. Cases of Conjunctivitis, Diarrhoea, Vomiting, High Temperature, Unexplained Rash etc will be dealt with at the time. If necessary the child may be sent home.
