How I work
Behaviour
I work a non physical punishment policy, I believe in positive discipline as an effective way of promoting good behaviour.
| • | Reward good behaviour |
| • | Praise and give positive attention |
| • | Let children feel valued |
| • | Set realistic targets |
| • | Always be consistent |
| • | Set a good example myself |
| • | React to unwanted behaviour in accordance to the age of the child and their level of understanding |
| • | Communicate with parents to resolve any longer term problems |
Sickness
I provide a “Well Child” policy to protect myself my family and other child-minded children from any infection. If your child is unwell it is in their best interests if they are kept at home and given the love and care of their own parents.
I ask that children are not returned until 24hrs after their condition has returned to normal, or 48hrs after their first dose of antibiotic’s. If unsure please call. I also require parents to inform me as soon as possible and preferably before 8.30am to let me know if their child will be absent.
