1. New parents/carers need complete an enrolment form on their first visit before leaving their child in the care of the child minder. By signing this form you are agreeing to all the policies and procedures of this childminding facility.
2. Any information regarding your child or your family, given to the centre either verbally or in writing, will be treated as confidential. Parents/carers will have access to their own child’s records but not to others. All documentation relating to your child is stored in a file, which is not accessible to any other party.
3. The child minder will not discuss your child with others unless they have permission from the parent/carer.

1. Admission into child minding is by prior appointment only. Bookings are preferred a day in advance in person or via the phone, but sometimes can be made on the day also. There are restrictions to the number and ages of children that can be cared for at one time within the child minding room. If there are already a maximum amount of children booked in or your child is too young or old, then it will not be possible to leave them with the child minder. The centre will allow children between the ages of 6 months and 10 years old. The number of children permissible in child minding is entirely up to the discretion of Oasis Health Club
2. The parent/carer must sign their child in and out each time they visit the centre, clearly writing their child’s name. They must also list any special needs or instructions for the child, such as allergies, teething, cuddle rug or dummy. The same person must sign the child in and out, and this person must remain on the centre premises at all times whilst their child is in our care.

Regardless of circumstances, the time slot booked for your child must be adhered to. If you are late arriving, the booking will still end at the original time that was reserved. This ensures that we always maintain the child to carer ratios as dictated by children services. You may only stay over your allotted time with prior approval of the child carer or Centre management as long as these ratios are not exceeded.

Do not bring children that are sick or showing symptoms of being sick.

It is our policy NOT to administer any medication to the children in our care. This is the responsibility of the parents/carers. Admission into child-minding is up to the discretion of our staff.

1. We reserve the right to reject a child in the following situations:
   1. If the child continually demonstrates aggressive behavior to the other children.
   2. If the child continually uses inappropriate language (swearing)
   3. If the child continually makes inappropriate remarks, such as racist comments.
   4. If the child is likely to cause harm to other children in the setting.
   5. If the child is found to be stealing from other children or staff.
2. Centre staff will discuss with the parent/carer and give reasons for this decision.

The following procedures are in place to support the health and safety of your child.

1. All toys and equipment will be checked and cleaned regularly to ensure they are safe for your child to use. Any broken or hazardous items will be removed immediately. Children will only be offered toys and resources that are suitable for their age/stage of development
2. Please ensure that if a child brings a toy from home that it is suitable for all the children in the setting i.e. it does not contain small parts etc. If it is deemed to be unsuitable by the child minder then it will be removed and returned when the parent/carer comes to pick up the child.
3. We are not responsible for any toys or other possessions that the child may bring in from home.

The safety of your child is our priority and the child minder will take every measure they can to protect your child from hurting itself. However sometimes accidents do happen, in this occurrence they will be dealt with as follows:

1. Comfort the child and reassure them
2. Assess the extent of their injuries and if necessary call for medical support/ambulance.
3. Carry out any first aid procedures that are necessary.
4. If necessary inform the parent/guardian of the accident, and if necessary to take the child
