Departure Procedure

The morning session ends at 12 noon and the afternoon session at 3.00pm. Children can be collected early at 2.30pm. Children will gather their own belongings and sit down for a circle time where we hand out any work, sing our going home song and say goodbye. We ask parents to queue outside, and children will be sent out one at a time according to the queue. We ask that you do not push to the front or rush our going home process, as at this time we are closely checking that the right child goes with the right parents and check any passwords or any accident forms as necessary. Please hold onto children in the car park for safety.

 

Only persons named as collectors on the child's registration form and those we have been informed about are allowed to collect. This is for your child’s safety and security.

 

We have a duty to record late collections.

 

If you wish to speak to a staff member, please wait until all most parents/carers and children have left the building.

 

Staff on the door are there to check that children leave with the right parent/carer so please don’t distract them.

 

Anyone who is not known to us and arrives to collect a child will be required to give us the child’s relevant password. We may in addition call the parent if necessary. If we do not know the person collecting and they do not have the correct password, we cannot allow them to take the child. Persons authorised to collect children must be over 16 years of age. Parents are responsible for notifying the nursery in writing of any changes in family circumstances that may influence who is allowed to collect the child.
