Safeguarding Policy
We believe that a child or young person should never experience abuse of any kind.
We have a responsibility to promote the welfare of all children and young people and to keep them safe. We are committed to practice in a way that protects them.
This policy is based on the law and guidance that seeks to protect children, including:

- All children, regardless of age, ability, gender, racial heritage, religious belief, sexual orientation or identity, have a right to equal protection from all types of harm or abuse.
- Some children are additionally vulnerable because of the impact of previous experiences, their level of dependency, communication needs or other issues.
- Working together with children, young people, their parents, carers and other agencies is essential in promoting children and young people’s welfare.
What to do if you are worried about a child’s safety or welfare or about the behaviour of an adult:
You should follow the procedures below and report to your Centre Manager or Safeguarding Officer at the earliest opportunity.
If a child is in immediate danger, contact the police and ask for the Child Protection Unit, then contact the Safeguarding Officer at the earliest opportunity.

Behaviour Policy
How to handle difficult behaviour:
When a child misbehaves, the first step is to remain calm and address the behaviour in a consistent and respectful manner. You should:
- Use positive behaviour strategies such as praise for good behaviour, redirection, and setting clear expectations
- Speak to the child at their level, using simple, clear language to help them understand what behaviour was inappropriate and why
- Identify the reason behind the behaviour, as misbehaviour is often a form of communication (e.g., frustration, tiredness, or unmet needs)
- Offer choices, where appropriate, to give the child a sense of control and responsibility for their actions
- Model appropriate behaviour, showing the child how to respond calmly and respectfully in challenging situations
What actions to take if the child/children continue to misbehave:
If the behaviour continues despite initial intervention, you should:
- Reinforce boundaries by calmly reminding the child of the rules and expected behaviour
- Apply consistent consequences, such as a short, age-appropriate reflection time (e.g. thinking chair or quiet space)
- Observe the behaviour to identify any patterns or triggers and document all incidents in the child's file
- Communicate with colleagues and, if necessary, involve the SENCO, or/and the Operations Team for further support
- Engage with parents/carers, sharing observations and working together to support the child’s development consistently across home and settingList Item
- Review and adapt strategies if needed, ensuring the child receives the appropriate emotional or behavioural support
The goal is always to support the child in learning appropriate behaviour through guidance, consistency, and understanding, rather than simply punishing them. It’s crucial to focus on supporting the behaviour, not labelling the child.
Children's Attendance Policy
1. Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to ensure that all children attend the breakfast club and after-school club regularly and on time. Consistent attendance helps children build routines, develop friendships, and fully benefit from the activities and support provided. It also promotes their wellbeing and ensures effective safeguarding.
Children being absent from early years settings repeatedly, or for prolonged periods of time, may be a vital warning sign for a range of safeguarding issues.
There have been incidents where serious harm to a child may have been prevented if an absence from their early years setting had been reported to social services and/or the police.
2. Scope
This policy applies to all children enrolled with The Play Professionals including Breakfast Clubs, After School Clubs and holiday Playschemes
3. Registration and Attendance
- Parents/guardians must register their child and provide all necessary contact information, including emergency contacts; (a minimum of three contact numbers)
- Attendance is recorded daily upon arrival and departure.
- Children must be signed in and out by a parent/guardian or authorised adult.
4. Expected Attendance
- Children are expected to attend all scheduled sessions unless they are unwell or there is another valid reason for absence.
- Parents/guardians should ensure children arrive on time to avoid disruption and ensure safety.
5. Reporting Absence
- If a child will be absent, parents/guardians must notify the setting as soon as possible, preferably before the start of the session.
- Reasons for absence should be given (e.g., illness, family emergency).
- If a child is absent for a prolonged period of time, or if a child is absent without notification from the parent or carer, attempts must be made to contact the child’s parents and/or carers and alternative emergency contacts.
6. Late Arrival and Early Collection
- Children arriving late or leaving early must be signed in/out on the registers.
- Persistent lateness may affect the child’s experience and participation in activities.
7. Monitoring Attendance and Safeguarding and Safety
- Attendance records are maintained daily and monitored regularly. Regular attendance helps ensure children’s safety.
- Patterns of unexplained or frequent absence may be discussed with parents/guardians. Staff must consider patterns and trends in a child’s absences and their personal circumstances and use their professional judgement when deciding if their absence should be considered as prolonged. Consideration must be given to the child’s vulnerability, parent’s and/or carer’s vulnerability and their home life.
- In cases of persistent unexplained absence, the setting may involve external authorities in line with safeguarding procedures. Emergency contacts will be used if a child does not arrive as expected.
Any concerns will be referred to local children’s social care services and/or a police welfare check requested.
8. Responsibilities
Parents/Guardians:
- Ensure children attend regularly and on time.
- Notify the setting of absences promptly.
- Provide accurate contact details and update them when necessary.
Setting Staff:
- Record attendance accurately and consistently.
- Follow up on unexplained absences promptly.
- Monitor attendance patterns and address concerns proactively.

- Dairy and protein (cheese slices, cream cheese, boiled eggs)
- Higher-meat deli slices with fewer preservatives

References:
The UK Government is rolling out free, healthy breakfast clubs in all state-funded primary schools by September 2026, following successful pilots, to tackle child poverty and improve readiness to learn, with funding for a national expansion from April 2026, supporting nutritious options like porridge, eggs, and fruit to ensure children start the day ready for education. This expands on the previous National School Breakfast Programme (NSBP) for disadvantaged areas, aiming to provide a supportive, healthy start for all pupils, boosting attendance, behaviour, and attainment.
Breakfast Club Managers should aim to promote healthy breakfasts as wholesome, nutrient-rich meals featuring whole grains, fresh fruits/veg, and protein, moving away from sugary cereals, with ideas like porridge with fruit, avocado on wholemeal toast, veggie- packed omelettes/muffins, and fruit/yogurt smoothies, emphasising quick, make-ahead options like overnight oats or breakfast pots to fuel children without processed sugars, all about quality ingredients to build energy and focus.
Key Principles for Healthy Breakfasts:
- Whole Foods: Prioritise whole grains (oats, wholemeal bread), fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins
- Low Sugar & Fat: Avoid processed sugary cereals, pastries, and excessive salt, focusing on natural sweetness from fruit
- Protein Power: Eggs, yogurt, and seeds provide sustained energy
- Vitamins & Fibre: Incorporate fruits and veggies to boost nutrients and keep kids full
- Make-Ahead Options: Prepare things like overnight oats, breakfast muffins, or fruit pots the night before for busy mornings
Breakfast Club Menu Standards:
Approved Options:
- Low-sugar cereals (e.g., Weetabix, Shredded Wheat, Rice Pops)
- Plain yoghurt with fresh fruit toppings
- Porridge
- Wholemeal toast with butter (with alternatives to dairy available) or low-sugar jam (prefer fruit-based jams)
- Fresh fruit selection
Avoid:
- Sugary cereals, chocolate and pastries, undiluted fruit juices
- Highly processed breakfast bars
Some Ideas:
- Porridge: Classic with berries, banana, or spices like cinnamon
- Avocado Toast: On rye or wholemeal bread, with toppings like tomato, seeds, or egg
- Smoothies: Blended fruit, coconut milk, oats, and chia seeds for a vibrant boost
- Egg-Based Dishes: Scrambled eggs, omelettes (with hidden veg!), or egg muffins
- Breakfast Wraps/Pots: Use wholemeal tortillas with yogurt, fruit, or eggs for on-the- go convenience
- By focusing on fresh, minimally processed ingredients and smart prep, this approach ensures children get a nutritious start to their day, building good eating habits for life

EY 2652459
The Play Professionals Reay
"Children enjoy their time in this exciting, welcoming setting. They come in happily, exchanging greetings with staff and other children. Staff take great care in getting to know the children. They also have robust procedures to exchange information with class teachers, meaning that they are fully aware of children's needs and interests. These procedures contribute to children feeling secure, settling quickly and building warm relationships with staff."
EY 2652459
The Play Professionals Reay
"Children are independent and confident, competently asking for help when needed. Children follow the very good example from genuinely kind and caring staff. For example, older children notice younger children new to the setting are unsettled and join them in their play, to support them. Children enjoy celebrating each other's similarities and differences as they greet each other in their home languages. This is because staff support children's uniqueness."
EY436011
The Play Professionals St. Leonard's
"Children build positive relationships with all staff members. Interactions between them are superb. Staff successfully encourage children’s speech by creating opportunities for them to share their ideas and stories with one another. Staff sit with children at every opportunity to engage them in conversation and in play"

- Here are some of the things that the Ofsted Inspector said about our service:
“Children enjoy their time in this exciting, welcoming setting. They come in happily, exchanging greetings with staff and other children. Staff take great care in getting to know the children.
They also have robust procedures to exchange information with class teachers, meaning that they are fully aware of children's needs and interests. These procedures contribute to children feeling secure, settling quickly and building warm relationships with staff.
Children respond to the positive environment and are eager to try new experiences, persevering when faced with challenges. For instance, children work out how to make the arts and craft fish stand up. These daily experiences support children in building the skills that aid their learning.
Children follow the very good example from genuinely kind and caring staff. For example, older children notice younger children new to the setting are unsettled and join them in their play, to support them.
Staff help children to learn about keeping safe and healthy, as they support them in assessing risks as they play.
Children enjoy celebrating each other's similarities and differences as they greet each other in their home languages. This is because staff support children's uniqueness.
Senior managers and the manager ensure that staff complete regular safeguarding training to keep their knowledge and understanding of child protection up to date.
All staff know the signs that a child may be at risk of abuse and neglect. They understand the processes to follow if they have concerns about children or adults. Staff complete daily checks of the environment to help identify and minimise potential risk for children.”

- Here are some of the things that the Ofsted Inspector said about our service:
“Children are happy, confident and fully engaged in the club. Staff warmly welcome
children from their classrooms.
Children often share stories about their school day and enjoy the continuity between school and the club's routines. Staff listen attentively, celebrate achievements and ensure that every child feels valued and included.
Children understand routines well, respond positively to staff's guidance and demonstrate respect and consideration for each other.
Staff use responsibilities, such as helping to set up or tidying snack areas, to foster children's independence and a sense of contribution. They plan activities around children’s interests and suit them to the different children's ages.
Indoors, children enjoy role play, construction, mark making, board games and
sensory play. Outdoors, they take part in sports, water play, gardening, climbing
and specialist coaching in football, hockey, tennis and archery.
Staff actively participate, sit alongside children and join in with their play. This support helps to build children's skills and confidence. Leaders and staff provide a nurturing, safe and stimulating environment, where children thrive socially, emotionally and
physically. They support children to develop independence, positive behaviours and
enthusiasm for activities.
Staff support children to express and share their thoughts and ideas through rich conversations, thoughtful questioning and introducing new vocabulary. For example, during gardening, role play or sports activities, children learn terms related to tools, plants and games.”

“Warm and positive relationships underpin practice, with children demonstrating a clear understanding of the setting's rules.”
“Children benefit from a wide range of engaging play opportunities. Indoors, they can choose from mark making, construction, dressing up, reading and small-world play. Outdoors, they enjoy football and racing games that promote teamwork and physical development. Staff are attentive and responsive, ensuring that children are included and supported in their play”

- Here are some of the things that the Ofsted Inspector said about our service:
“Staff are very welcoming, kind and caring in their approach. They keenly greet all children as they enthusiastically arrive from the nursery and school sites where the club is based.
Staff have high expectations for all children's behaviour and conduct, and they are very consistent in their approach. They organise the environment effectively to help to support children's emotional well-being.
Key staff support the youngest children tremendously well, to help to support their emotional well-being as they settle. When children first arrive, they listen to and keenly follow the club routines.
Staff are good role models. They frequently praise children for their achievements, such as when they make beaded bracelets and build forts with construction pieces. Children have lots of fun at the club and consistently demonstrate very positive behaviour.
Staff are very positive in their praise to boost children's self-esteem.
Staff plan lots of varied activities to help to promote children's enjoyment, and to meet their individual needs. This is demonstrated particularly well for children in the early years age range. Staff positively interact with children and keenly join them in their play, such as when young children excitedly play shops, and look for pretend croissants.
Overall, children are consistently engaged, and they demonstrate their enjoyment.
Older children concentrate as they carefully make snowflakes from folded paper. Staff keenly explain the art of origami. Children benefit from a healthy light meal. Staff successfully support children's healthy food choices.
The highly qualified staff team frequently accesses a range of opportunities to
help to enhance their skills and knowledge.”

“Children are greeted warmly by staff as they arrive at this homely out-of-school club. Staff know and value each child highly and ensure that activities are linked to children's interests.
Children are fully involved in tasks and enjoy their time at the club. Staff ensure that they gather all children together each term to find out their views for future activities. They reflect children's suggestions in a broad variety of activities which they enjoy.
Staff are calm and fair in their approach to managing children's behaviour. They construct group rules with children who act in positive ways. Staff offer a range of stimulating activities that take place indoors and outdoors.
Children have good levels of concentration and engage well with activities.
Children take turns and share well.
Children relate well to each other and show kindness and respect to others.
Children use a quiet area to relax with a wide range of interesting books. They feel calm and happy as they relax on soft cushions and this supports their wellbeing. Staff ask children how they are feeling and help them to find ways of managing their feelings, where needed.
Children enjoy a wide range of physical challenges in the outdoor area. Staff know how to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Staff ensure that all children have equal access to all activities.
Staff work effectively with parents. They talk with parents each evening to share information on children's activities and well-being.

- Here are some of the things that the Ofsted Inspector said about our service:
“Leaders establish a culture of mutual respect and positive relationships across the
provision, they model warm and nurturing interactions consistently, ensuring that
children feel valued and secure. As a result, children show high levels of wellbeing.
Children engage positively with staff, knowing they are there to support them. Staff
help children to resolve issues with sensitivity and skill. Leaders work in excellent
partnership with the school and parents to promote the importance of attendance.
Parents and carers report that they value the setting's support and communication.
Children's behaviour is impressive. Staff consider the needs and preferences of all
children carefully, including children with special educational needs and/or
disabilities. Staff teach children how to look after their environment and how to work
cooperatively.
Children feel safe and secure in this setting. They flourish because of the
established and well-structured routines and deep bonds they form with staff.
Children demonstrate autonomy as they enthusiastically access all that is on offer in
the club.
Children's well-being is a priority for leaders. Staff know each child incredibly well
and recognise the strategies that help them to settle if they become upset.
Leaders are dedicated to ensuring that the provision is highly inclusive and
accessible to all children and families, including those children with special
educational needs and/or disabilities.
Leaders capture children's voices and feedback, as well as views from parents and
carers. They use this information to support their evaluation of their provision and
practice and make necessary improvements, when required.
Parents describe communication as open and helpful, reflecting leaders'
commitment to developing consistent relationships."

- At The Play Professionals we always have a plan but we are happy to adapt as self-directed play stimulates imagination, and allows children to experience independence from an early age while in a safe, prepared environment.
- Collection time is from 17:10 to 18:00 during which time there is free play for all children, including an opportunity to do homework and socialise before going home. This also gives Parents and Carers an opportunity to receive feedback from the team.

- Here are some of the things that the Ofsted Inspector said about our service:
“Leaders establish a culture of mutual respect and positive relationships across the
provision, they model warm and nurturing interactions consistently, ensuring that
children feel valued and secure. As a result, children show high levels of wellbeing.
Children engage positively with staff, knowing they are there to support them. Staff
help children to resolve issues with sensitivity and skill. Leaders work in excellent
partnership with the school and parents to promote the importance of attendance.
Parents and carers report that they value the setting's support and communication.
Children's behaviour is impressive. Staff consider the needs and preferences of all
children carefully, including children with special educational needs and/or
disabilities. Staff teach children how to look after their environment and how to work
cooperatively.
Children feel safe and secure in this setting. They flourish because of the
established and well-structured routines and deep bonds they form with staff.
Children demonstrate autonomy as they enthusiastically access all that is on offer in
the club.
Children's well-being is a priority for leaders. Staff know each child incredibly well
and recognise the strategies that help them to settle if they become upset.
Leaders are dedicated to ensuring that the provision is highly inclusive and
accessible to all children and families, including those children with special
educational needs and/or disabilities.
Leaders capture children's voices and feedback, as well as views from parents and
carers. They use this information to support their evaluation of their provision and
practice and make necessary improvements, when required.
Parents describe communication as open and helpful, reflecting leaders'
commitment to developing consistent relationships."
