Disclaimer Notice
These policies are provided as professionally written guidance to support Childminder settings in meeting their statutory duties and embedding high-quality practice in line with the EYFS Statutory Framework and associated legislation.
While every effort has been made to ensure accuracy and alignment with current requirements at the time of publication, this Policies Pack is intended to be adopted, adapted and implemented in accordance with each setting’s specific context, local authority guidance and regulatory requirements.
It remains the responsibility of the setting’s registered provider, leadership team and designated safeguarding leads to:
Ensure policies reflect their individual setting, cohort and operational arrangements
Keep policies up to date with changes to legislation, statutory guidance and local procedures
Implement policies consistently through staff training, supervision and monitoring
These documents are designed to support professional judgement, not replace statutory guidance, legal advice, or the requirements of regulatory bodies such as Ofsted, local safeguarding partnerships or health authorities.
By using this Policies Pack, settings acknowledge that policies must be reviewed regularly and contextualised to ensure they remain accurate, effective and compliant.
