We recognise that the quality and variety of work which goes on in a pre-school makes it an ideal place for students on placement from school or college childcare courses as well as those on NVQ Childcare or Tutor Fieldworker courses.
Students are welcomed into the pre-school on the following conditions:
The needs of the children are paramount. Students will not be admitted in numbers which hinder the essential work of the pre-school.
Students must be confirmed by their tutor as being engaged in a bona fide childcare course, which provides necessary background understanding of children’s development and activities.
Students required to conduct child studies will obtain written permission from the parents of the child to be studied.
Any information gained by the students about the children, families or other adults in the pre-school must remain confidential.
Unless registered as fit persons, students will not have unrestricted access to children.
CRB checks will be carried out if students are with us for more than a term.
