Our Policies       

Policies and procedures help us to provide good quality provision. They do this by making clear to staff and parents/carers what sort of setting we want to be and what has to be done to make this happen. Section 3.8 in the Statutory Framework of the Early Years Foundation Stage requires providers to have written policies and procedures and to ensure all staff are given copies at their induction and that they are provided and explained to parents/carers.

Please email mail@brplaygroup.com if you would like a copy of any of our Policies.
