As well as the time our Cook spends shopping for meals, preparing, cooking and cleaning down the kitchen afterwards. These tasks are NOT carried out by your child's Key Worker. Full copies of our contracts are shared during parental interviews, for parents to take away and review fully.
The additional optional £1.09 per hour also covers our 'Additional Services' items such as the cost of your child's Nursery Bag, Daily Diaries, Communication Booklets, Learning Journal, our Going Home Book Bags for Literacy and Maths, Baking & Craft Supplies, Our Regular Yoga Classes, Weekly Forest School Inspired trips to Decoy Park, Weekly French Classes, Weekly Educational Trips to Newton Abbot Library & Market & all Outings both in and out of Newton Abbot where we are required to work to much lower adult to child ratios than those stipulated for when caring for children on the premises. e.g. our regular outings to Teignmouth, Living Coasts, Totnes Rear Breeds, Newton Abbot Library, Decoy Park, Courtney Park etc. Where we work to ratios of 1:4 instead of 1:8 or 1:13.
However you may opt out of any 'Additional Services' and provide all of your child's own drinks, snacks, meals and consumable item. Please be aware that all drinks, snacks and meals MUST be clearly labelled with any allergens clearly indicated.This is so that we are able to prevent cross contamination or any child having an allergic reaction should they come into contact with an allergen contained in your child's snacks and meals. We are sadly not able to refrigerate, cook or reheat any food items provided by parents, due to Food Hygiene constraints.
