Overnight care policy
I am registered to provide overnight care for children if required.
Children being cared for overnight have additional care needs, these will need to be discussed prior to a child staying. I will need to obtain information from you about your child’s routines and habits e.g. bedwetting, nightmares etc and share with you their arrangements for care to ensure the child’s needs have been met.
Children will have a safe and suitable place to sleep and will have easy access to me at all times. There will be a baby monitor in the room where they sleep so that I can hear them at all times in case they need me. I will ensure the child’s safety and privacy are safeguarded at all times.
Before a child stays overnight emergency contact numbers must be provided. If the parent is unavailable to be contacted then another named person must be available to collect the child if necessary – conformation of this agreement must be obtained which will be included in the contract with the parents agreement.
The following items must be provided by you in an overnight bag for your child’s stay:
-
Pyjamas/dressing gown/slippers
-
Suitable nappies and wipes
-
Toiletries – toothpaste/toothbrush/soap/shampoo etc
-
Clothing for the next morning
-
Comforter/teddy for sleep
-
Any other items you feel your child may need
Please note:
-
Clean bedding and towels will be provided.
-
Please can you make sure enough nappies and wipes are sent for your child as I don’t keep spares.
