 Copies of the playgroup’s policies are available to be viewed at the setting or purchased if you wish to have your own copy. We are regulated by Ofsted who may and do inspect at any time.

The playgroup's policies help us to make sure that the service provided by St John’s is a high quality one and that being a member of the playgroup is an enjoyable and beneficial experience for each child and their parents. Certain criteria are fulfilled by adhering to the regulations and policies which we follow. We take necessary steps to safeguard and promote welfare and health; we ensure indoor and outdoor spaces, toys and equipment are safe. We manage children’s behaviour effectively and consistently and in a manner appropriate to each child’s particular need. All staff and other persons who have unsupervised access to the children are checked by the Criminal Records Bureau.
