NDNA nursery policy and procedure template updated: July 2024
NDNA provides its members with over 90 pre-written policies and procedure templates, to help save nursery owners and managers vital time and £1000s in lawyer and consultant fees.
We have looked at all the latest legislation changes and best practice recommendations and we have had to make over 50 updates to the templates. (Last release January 2024).
Some of the policy templates that have been updated include:
- Safeguarding Children and Child Protection Policy
- Absence Management Procedure
- Physical Activity Policy – new!
- Immunisation Disclaimer Form – new!
- And much more related to employment and health and safety regulations.
NDNA members can download the policies straight to the computer from our website. Here is some more detail on the updates to look out for:
New Physical Activity Policy template in latest update to resources for members
We have created this template, as we know how important physical activity is to young children, and statistics show that not enough under fives are meeting minimum guidelines.
This policy is also applicable to nurseries who have a qualified Physical Activity and Nutrition Co-ordinator (PANCo).
NDNA has updated its Allergies and Allergic Reactions Policy template – have you updated yours?
Reflecting the latest advice and guidance, NDNA has updated this template, for the following scenario:
If a child has an accident that may require hospital treatment but not an ambulance and you choose to transport children within staff vehicles.
Immunisation Disclaimer Form added to latest policies and procedures templates from NDNA
Following member requests for support with children who may not be vaccinated, NDNA has created an Immunisation Disclaimer Form.
To save time and for reassurance that you are following the correct procedures, make sure you download this template.
Have you updated your Supervision of Children Policy?
In NDNA’s latest round of updates, we have added a key section on supervising children while they are eating food.
With many more updates related to employment and health and safety regulations, please make sure you download the latest versions today.
