Arrival Procedure

Doors will open at 8.30am for children attending our early start session, 9.00am for the morning session and 12 noon for the afternoon session.

On arrival, please place children’s water bottles in box outside and pass them their belongings to bring inside before saying goodbye. This encourages ownership and independence. Children will hang up their belongings with staff support before having hands sanitised and then going to find an activity of their choice. In the afternoon a staff member will take children from the foyer into the registration circle or activity. If you are not collecting your child at the end of the session, please inform the member of staff on register and complete the collection book providing the name of the person who will be collecting. Please ensure the person who is collecting has the password. If you are collecting your child early at 2.30pm, please inform the person on register. Likewise, if you usually collect at 2.30pm but need a 3pm collection. Please inform us if your child needs to leave a session for any reason, such as a doctor’s appointment.

Registration takes place at 9.00am and 12 noon. We have a duty to record and follow up on any late arrivals or absences in our register. Please see our absence policy.
