It is important to ensure that all children in your setting are safe and protected from any harm. This is because; parents and carers put their trust into you to look after their child while they are away. It is important to be able to develop a happy relationship with parents and also the children, so you can work together to create a health environment with a positive atmosphere. For many parents, especially first time moms, it is difficult for them to leave their child behind. For this reason they need to be sure that they are putting their child in a healthy, happy and safe environment.
To ensure that the children are safe in the setting, all members of staff need to have under gone a DBS check. This makes sure that all staff are suited to work with or around children.
Also, all toys should be age appropriate so that young children do not choke on any small parts. Toys and any other objects that the children may use should be cleaned every day to prevent the spread of germs and illnesses.
All gates and doors should be kept closed and locked so that the children are unable to escape from the setting, as they would be putting themselves in potential danger.
In my setting, when a practitioner is preparing children’s food, they must have their hair tied back, wash their hands and wear a white disposable apron. This ensures that no bacteria is spread through their food, making them ill.
All staff should have the required qualifications to ensure that they understand what their job role involves and how to care for the children.
