Safeguarding
At Meldreth Preschool, we are fully committed to the welfare and protection of all children in our care.
We take our safeguarding responsibilities seriously and strive to create a safe, secure, and supportive environment where every child can thrive.
Our Approach to Safeguarding
We safeguard children by:
- Identifying emerging concerns early
- Intervening promptly when needed
- Working in partnership with parents, carers, and external agencies
- Following local safeguarding procedures in every area in which we operate
It is our duty as a childcare provider to ensure that any concerns regarding a child's safety or well-being are taken seriously and appropriately investigated.
Working with Parents
We believe that safeguarding is most effective when we work together with families. Parents and carers are encouraged to communicate openly with staff about any concerns or changes that may affect their child’s well-being.
Staff Vetting and Training
All staff employed at Meldreth Preschool are:
- Fully vetted and interviewed
- Hold a current enhanced DBS check
- Trained in safeguarding procedures and understand how to respond appropriately to concerns
