1. Do you always know what happens in your nurseries?
2. Would you like to offer parents that extra reassurance?
3. Avoid complaints and possible litigation?
4. Protect yourself and your staff, as well as the children?
5. How can you show evidence of good practice?

Ask yourself the following questions :

• Do you have a way of recording an excellent play activity for other staff members to learn from?
• Can you train staff about how to deal with situations, without having to disrupt the children playing?
• Can you assist with staff development, by showing them examples of how to perform in the workplace?

Could you face these issues when dealing with employees?

• “I do interact with the children at all times…”
• “I do not ignore Parents in the mornings…”
• “I was not sleeping when I should have been supervising the children…”
• “Can you prove that you did not discriminate against an employee?”

Why risk litigation from a parent and how can you protect yourself?

• Can you prove that the Nursery Nurse did not hurt that child on the day in question?
• Have you evidence that the child's parents were aggressive towards your staff?

Have you ever been asked…?

• “How did my child hurt himself in the playground?”
• “My child has a bite mark on his arm – when did this happen?”
• “Was anyone supervising my child when he slipped and fell?”

Have you ever been faced with this scenario…?

• OFSTED INSPECTOR: “We have had an anonymous complaint. Can you tell me what activity was occurring in the main Play Room at 11am last Thursday?”
• OFSTED INSPECTOR: “We have a parent who claims that the Deputy Manager refused them access in Reception last week.

Have you ever had to reassure a parent about…?

• “Honestly Mrs Stevens, Alice settles down really quickly when you leave the nursery.”
• “Mrs Williams, your child is settling in very well. I wish you could see them enjoying themselves.”
