Description
Cherryl’s Day Care Centre provides day care / educational & enrichment facilities for children. The centre is divided into sections appropriate to the ages and for the development of children.
There is a well-established routine in each section (details of activities for the whole week can be seen on the notice board within the centre). Each child is given a “Child Dairy”, which has information for your child’s individual needs and shuttles between home and the Centre.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
The children’s health and safety are paramount at all times. Entry to the premises is via locked gates only. Under no circumstances will we permit collection of your child by an unauthorised person. Equipment is checked regularly and fire drills are carried out quarterly The majority of the staff is trained in Basic First Aid.
Once every 3 months a Health Visitor (General Practitioner) visits the Centre and is available for consultation on any child health matters. EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMME
