Health & Safety
At Cornish Pixies Nursery, we are committed to providing a safe, secure, and healthy environment where children can learn, play, and grow with confidence. Our Health & Safety Policy and procedures document outlines the measures we take to protect the wellbeing of every child, staff member, and visitor. We follow clear guidelines to minimise risks across all areas of the nursery, including daily safety checks, safe use of equipment, hygiene practices, and effective supervision. Our procedures also cover accident prevention, first aid, fire safety, and emergency response, ensuring we are always prepared to act quickly and responsibly. All staff are trained in health and safety practices and are encouraged to maintain a proactive approach to identifying and managing potential hazards. We regularly review and update our policies to reflect current legislation and best practice, ensuring the highest standards are maintained at all times. By working closely with families and maintaining open communication, we create a safe and supportive environment where every child's wellbeing is our top priority.
Operations & Daily Care
At Cornish Pixies Nursery, we provide a caring and consistent environment where very child's daily needs are met with warmth and attention. Our Operations & Daily Care Policy and Procedures Document outlines how we organise each day to ensure children feel safe, supported, and able to thrive. Our daily routines are carefully planned to balance learning, play, rest, and social interaction. This includes clear procedures for arrivals and departures, meal and snack times, personal care, sleep routines, indoor and outdoor activities. We understand that every child is unique, so our approach is flexible and responsible to individual needs and development stages. We place a strong emphasis on promoting independence, good hygiene, healthy habits, and positive behaviour. Our experienced staff work closely with families to ensure continuity of care between home and nursery, creating a familiar and reassuring experience for each child. Our procedures also ensure that staffing, supervision, and communication are consistently maintained to the highest standards. The policy is regularly reviewed to reflect best practice and to support the smooth, safe, and effective running of the nursery each day.
