Our Policies
Here at Pentland Childcare & Kindergarten, we are required to have a wide variety of policies to guide our staff and parents on procedures used to address situations. These come in many forms from the simple guidelines referred to in this handbook, to the more lengthy and in depth ones that are on display at various points throughout the Centre and kept in a folder accessible to parents and staff on demand. Policies are annually reviewed by parents, staff and management to determine if they reflect current practice, and their practicality. Any suggestions for changes made at these times are considered and incorporated into the policy if deemed relevant. Copies of these policies can be supplied on request.
