I will ensure that I provide a safe environment at all times, enabling the children in my care to explore and develop at a rate that is appropriate to their ability.
Appropriately furnished rooms are available for various activities, which will include quiet times which will take place in bedroom 2. I have adequate indoor space where children can play enabling them to experience a variety of activities.
Fire drills will be practiced on a regular basis in a fun manor so as to avoid anxiety and stress.
Heating checks are done on a regular basis and the temperatures within my home are set to a minimum of 18 degrees centigrade. My home is well lit and well ventilated.
All children in my care will have access to suitable toilet and washing facilities: separate towels will be provided for each individual child. I will encourage children to learn about personal hygiene through daily routines, for example correct toilet training and washing of hands, washing of hands before food and after activities.
I have a landline phone and a mobile phone which is always kept on, fully charged, accessible to the network and has credit.
