Yes of course, but please bear in mind the crèche can get quite noisy so they may not get the same quality of sleep as at home.
Our policy requires us to serve healthy snacks and we also check if your child has any dietary requirements prior to the event.
Yes absolutely, however we do have a policy that requires parents to ensure their children are fed and changed before dropping their child off. Parents are also expected to provide their own wipes, nappies and a change of clothes. We do have a supply for emergencies.
We do not recommend that children bring their own toys as crèche staff cannot be held responsible for the breakage or loss of personal toys.
If a child becomes unwell during his/her time in the crèche, the parent will be notified and asked to have the child seen by their G.P. An exclusion time period will be explained according to our health and safety policy. If a parent brings in medication, staff can only administrate prescribed medication by their G.P. Staff are expected to follow Rise & Shine Childcare’s medication administration policy.
We do not recommend this as parents coming into the crèche can unsettle their children, however, there is no strict policy against this. Staff will discuss with the parent about what is best for the child.
Unauthorised persons are not allowed to take pictures with their own cameras, mobile phones etc. Photographs can only be taken with the creche camera. Our policy requires parents’ permission to take their children’s photographs.
Yes, actually we have a settling in policy which allows parents to stay with their child if this helps the child settle, but as all children are different, a parent staying with their child could prolong the settling in. We recommend speaking to the crèche supervisor so parent and staff can make a decision together on what’s best for the child.
Staff record routines such as nappy change, snacks, toilet and sleep. Parents are informed at the end of the créche session.
Depending on the age of your child, we support and encourage children by doing activities which allow children to develop their English language. We have a team of bilingual staff who can help children communicate in their own language.
Following the requirements of Care Inspectorate our mobile créche service operates from 9am to 9pm seven days per week. The use of créche shall be restricted to a maximum of 4 hours for individual children at any session.
The number of children we cater for depends on the size of the room. We provide créche service for children from the age of 0 to 16 year old.
