In order for any childcare setting to provide good quality childcare, that setting should have various policies and procedures which act as guidance to the Management and staff, The Meadows is no different. These policies act as our own internal rulebook with many being based upon model policies drawn-up by the county Council or other leading Childcare organisations.
