Policies
The staff and committee of Duxford Preschool work together to shape and adopt the setting’s policies, which are then reviewed on a regular basis, with all Safeguarding policies being reviewed annually. Our policies ensure that we adhere to any statutory requirements, latest guidelines and best practice for early years care and education, so that the service we provide is of a consistently high standard. Should you wish to read any of our policies in paper format, please ask a member of staff and they will happily provide you with our policies folder.
Our policies and procedures are divided into sections based on the ten overarching Safeguarding and Welfare Requirements within the EYFS, with one additional section relating to Trustee policies.
