                politely ask them to wait in the reception area or outside the school gates while you check their credentials and let the Play Leader in Charge and Holiplay Director know.

            
            
                

                

                tell them that you were not expecting them and to please return another day.

            
            
                

                

                allow them to walk around and have access to the children unaccompanied by a Holiplay employee.

                                2. Why is it essential to go out of your way to speak to parents and carers during drop off or collection times..?

                            
                            
                            
            
                

                

                It's great to engage in adult conversation before and after a day of behaving like a child.

            
            
                

                

                To establish a positive relationship with the parents and carers building their trust and confidence in our ability to provide good quality care to their children.

            
            
                

                

                Parents and carers need to know that their child's behaviour is not appropriate and if it persists they won't be allowed to attend the provision.

                                3. If you have a concern about a child you must.

                            
                            
                            
            
                

                

                Tell the child that you care concerned about them and leave it at that. 

            
            
                

                

                Complete a safeguarding incident form on Magic Booking and inform the Play Leader in Charge as soon as possible.

            
            
                

                

                Keep an eye on the situation and let a colleague know before you go home for the day.
