thumperrabbit Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Hi I just wondered how you all presented your policy folder to parents? Ours are under the headings: Being Healthy Staying Safe Enjoying & Achieving Making a Positive Contribution Documentation Do you do it any differently?

We have put the cards from the EYFS pack there as good a place as any when reviewing policies! Daily timetable What else should be there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 gosh cant remember without looking and it is at my setting and we are snowed in at min. We too are pack away, i have a room layout but we dont change it round often unless something isnt working then we look at lots of things eg well being and invovlement before we move or not. my cards are with the EYFS pack that stays at the setting - we each have our own at home my plan is in my operational file along with daily timetable and rotas i will try to remember to get back to you when i am back next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verona Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Hi thumperrabbit During the Easter holidays i am sorting out the policies. At the moment i have them in alphabetical order in a large folder. I like the thought of putting them under the headings - being healthy - staying safe, etc. What policies do you put under what headings? I also have a Sun Protection policy but it isn't very comprehensive. It says about ensuring children are not overexposed to the sun, wearing hats, parents putting sun lotions on etc. but really needs some more added to it. Any thoughts please?

Cait Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 could it encompass other relevant things about being outside - cold weather gear for instance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 We did as Cait suggested and incorporated our sun protection policy in outdoor play, but this was after we knew it was embedded practice. The PLA policies have been grouped under headings as you are suggesting and their policy handbook is quite useful for ensuring the policies are up to date, so long as you make sure you read them very carefully and tailor them to the setting. It was a bit of a mammoth task doing it and I almost gave it up due to the brain scrambling-ness of trying to match our old policies to the new ones, but then the Ofsted inspector commented that she liked the way we had linked our action plans to the EYFS and ECM and so I carried on in order that the policies would be similarly matched. I also made them beautifully colour coded just so they looked more eye catching and appealing in the hopes someone might also read them - I can live in hope!

dreamgirl Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 My policies need an over haul too. Im really like the idea of filing in the areas. I too would love to know what policies you have put in each area. Thanks in advance!! xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Really like the idea of putting them under ECM outcomes, and improving their look by using colour. That's now added to my jobs list. Thanks. Gruffalo2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
