                Greet the collector, show them the list of names on the child’s account and ask who they are then allow the child to leave. 

            
            
                

                

                Ask the child if they know this person and If they are happy to go with them, don’t worry about checking the name on the account because the child’s happy. 

            
            
                

                

                Check the authorised collectors list, ask for ID and then call the main account holder.

                                12. When a parent / carer arrives to collect their children, what must we do? 

                            
                            
                            
            
                

                

                Someone’s talking to the parent/carer already so assume that they will feedback about the child’s behaviour, even though you sat them on a reflection time. 

            
            
                

                

                Ignore the door someone else will get it and sign the child out. 

            
            
                

                

                Greet them with a smile, ask About their day and then feedback to them about what their child has done and how they have behaved. Always finish on a positive note.

                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.
