Policy On Authorisation To Collect Children

It is the policy of our childcare facility to ensure the collection of children is conducted in a safe manner. 

Children may only be collected by the person(s) named in the child’s registration form. 

Parents must notify staff if their child is to be collected by an unnamed person(s). 

Parents should ensure that children are collected on time and under no circumstances will children be brought home by a staff member. 

No one under the age of 18 will be permitted to collect a child. 

The centre closes at 6pm; and all collections should be done by 5.45pm to allow staff time to finish by 6pm. 

Persistent late collection may be subject to additional late charges to cover costs and termination of your Childs place with fair warning.

Please bear in mind that the facility’s insurance policy covers children on site - during operational hours i.e. from 8 a.m. up to 6p.m. It is incumbent on both parents and staff to mitigate risk by adhering to collection/drop-off procedures within operational hours.
