Student Placement Policy
We recognise that the quality and variety of work which goes on in a playgroup makes it an ideal place for students on placement from school and college childcare courses as well as those on the Diploma in Pre-school Practice or NVQ’s. A maximum of 2 students at a time are welcome into the pre-school on the following conditions:
· The needs of the children are paramount. Students will not be admitted in numbers, which hinder the essential work of the pre-school.
· Students must be confirmed by their tutors as being engaged in a childcare course, which provides necessary background understanding of children’s development and activities.
· Unless registered as fit persons, students will not have unrestricted access to children.
· Students required conducting child studies would obtain written permission from the parents of the child to be studied.
· Any information gained by the students about the children, families or other adults in the playgroup must remain confidential
