Safeguarding Children and Child Protection
As a provider of day care, we have a responsibility to safeguard the children’s welfare. The responsibility involves recognising, recording and reporting any signs or incidents, which may harm the child’s physical and psychological well being.

Keeping Children Safe in Education Sept 2021
We believe that children are at their happiest in an organised environment in which everyone knows what is expected of them and children are free to develop their play and learning without fear of being hurt. We accept the importance of adopting a positive attitude which emphasises and recognises good behaviour rather that identify that which is unacceptable.
The Orchard nursery believes in the equal treatment of all persons and the opportunities available to them. We welcome all children regardless of their race, ethnic origin, gender, disability, culture or religion.
We intend to provide the highest quality setting for all children, including children with special educational needs, children with disabilities, and children from minority groups. We aim to offer support according to the differing strengths and needs of individual children and their families.
