current|| ||||strategy
www. wales,

oun
eo le/.|| ||||Children
are encouraged
to explore and learn through
their play and|| ||||small focus tasks. Daily activities
include sand, water, small world,|| ||||painting,
role play and craft. Each week activities are planned
around|a| ||||different topic. Some ofthe favourites
are Dinosaur week, Chinese
New|| ||||Year, Exploring the North Pole and Minibeasts.|| ||||Outside
play is always encouraged
when weather
permits
and there is|| ||||direct access to an enclosed
playground.|| ||||At lunchtime,
children
can either bring a packed lunch from home or|| ||||purchase
a school dinner.
A mid-afternoon
drink and snack are provided|| ||||as part ofthe healthy
eating initiative.|| ||||Little Chicks works with the support
of Early Years Wales to invest
in our|| ||||staff's commitment
to their continuous
provisional
development
through|| ||||reliably endorsed
courses, events and training
pathways,
and|| ||||parents/carers
are kept informed
ofthese.|| ||||Little Chicks has produced
a pack of policies and procedures
that|| ||||describe arrangements
for dealing
with routine operational
practice,|| ||||complaints,
concerns and any emergency
that may occur during|| ||||operational
hours. They are designed
to ensure effective and safe|| ||||management
of our service and to offer the best possible environment|| ||||and experience
for the children
and families who use it. The policies and|| ||||procedures
are developed
and maintained
in line with and/or exceed|| ||||national
minimum
standards
and regulations.
They are reviewed
regularly|| ||||(at least annually)
and updated
(and CIW informed
of any changes) as|| ||||necessary. The policy pack is available
for all who visit, work
in or use|| ||||Little Chicks to see them. The pack is available
from the setting.|| ||||Communicating
with our parents/carers|| ||||Little Chicks maintains
a website
with up-to-date
information|| ||||The Facebook page continues
to be used by staff to share the upcoming|| ||||topics to be covered, photos ofthe activities
being undertaken
and also|| ||||links to other sites that support
other learning
activities for parents/carers|| ||||to try at home.
It is great to receive instant feedback via the comments
on
the posts from the parents.
Many parents
use the Facebook Messenger|| ||||as a way to contact the staff as an alternative
to the mobile number.|| ||||We also continue to promote
Little Chicks and the upcoming
topics via|| ||||the school e-newsletter
that is distributed
by email every Friday during|| ||||the school term.|| ||||This year we also added a link on the Gwersyllt C.P. School blog so|| ||||parents
could navigate
straight to the Little Chicks webpage
from the|| ||||school site and also added a new Notice Board on the school yard for|| ||||parents
and carers to access all important
information
throughout
the|| ||||school year.|| ||||||||||||'|||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |||||~|~|~|||~
