Support children and make them independent. ensure that all the details of the child are kept confidential, in locked files, or on secure databases in the nursery, have locked cupboards for information details. Use the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, read this and use it as guidance when dealing with young children. ‘Child Voice’, is now very important, ensure that children are taken seriously and that they are not ridiculed when speaking up. Listen to them and answer their queries or any problems. Call them by their name, do not shorten it or change the pronunciation without their permission Have images around the room showing celebrations and images of variety of faiths not just one particular culture. Praise all celebrations-new born baby, using toilet on their own, putting own their own coat and shoes. Monitor the child, if you feel they are struggling in any way, report this to the parents. Observations are important, record anything if you feel you have a concern. Safe guarding is really important, you should ensure that all safety factors are in place and ensure tht all safety clothing, regulations are in place for a child friendly environment. -staff must have up to date safe guarding training.
