EYFS Policies and Procedures

There are 2 statutory policies for early years providers, required by the Childcare Register - safeguarding / child protection and complaints. 

There is 1 statutory policy required by data protection - a Privacy Notice. 

You can have others if you choose - it's up to you. There are many different policies available free on the Childcare.co.uk website

 

It can be easy to get carried away and write too many policies which are never read because they are too wordy.  You need to use a common sense approach – what do you want to say about your business and the way you intend to run it?
