At Anglia Sunshine Nurseries, we take the responsibility of safeguarding your children very seriously.

We have a comprehensive set of policies and procedures to ensure that our standards are met at all times.

Admissions Policy

Children are welcomed on a first come first served basis, where suitable sessions are available.  We operate a strict waiting list procedure and children’s names are added once we have received a completed registration form. Every child is offered a free play session prior to commencing the nursery during which they have an opportunity to play, meet the staff and other children, followed by our “settling in” programme which ensures that we only have one new starter at any one time.

Managing Behaviour Policy

We believe that children flourish best when they know how they are expected to behave, and should be free to play and learn without fear of being hurt or unfairly restricted by others.  Anglia Sunshine Nurseries aim to create an environment of acceptable behaviour, where children learn to respect themselves, others and their environment.

We manage children’s unwanted behaviour in ways that are appropriate to their age and stage of development, and work in partnership with parents, who are regularly informed about their child’s behaviour by the key person.
