At Iddy Biddy Kids, we have highly qualified staff, and experienced people who are committed to providing the highest quality care for your child. We believe we have a fabulous team that will contribute positively to your child's total development. Our team consists of a Director, Assistant Director, Group Leaders, Assistants and qualified Carers.

Staffing ratios and qualifications in our profession are governed by Statutory Requirements. It is our aim to exceed these requirements and staff are expected to attend professional in-service training or workshops for continued development.

All medication brought to the Centre must be handed over to the staff member who will place it in an appropriate cabinet which is not accessible to children. Please ensure that your child's name is on the medication.

Parents / guardians will need to complete and sign a medication permission form to allow staff to only administer prescribed medication, in accordance with the directions noted on the form.

 

The Centre requires an updated copy of your child's immunisation details.

Please note that children with infectious diseases or children not well enough to undertake normal routine will not be permitted to attend the Centre.

Parents will be notified if their child becomes sick and may be asked to collect their child. If unable to contact the child's parents, the emergency contact phone number will be utilised.

 

The Centre aims to achieve a high standard of hygiene. Therefore staff model and encourage children to develop personal hygiene through washing hands after play, toileting, nose blowing and before eating. Parents also need to comply with the relevant health and hygiene policy of the Centre.

 

Emergency evacuation procedures are displayed on the wall in each room. Each month a drill is called and all staff, children and parents present in the building at the time are required to follow the drill procedure.

All children attending the centre will be provided with sunscreen; and hats are provided on enrolment. Children without an appropriate sun hat will be encouraged to play in the shaded patio areas.

 

All bedding for children will be provided at the centre. Children are encouraged to rest during the day for a period of time depending on their indivdual needs. However, for children who do not rest during the day, quiet activities will be supplied.

 
 

Please ensure all of your child's belongings (hats, shoes, clothing) are clearly named to avoid the inconvenience and distress of lost property. We also ask that toys are not brought into the centre as this often causes conflict and contributes to the loss of property.

 

Parents are encouraged to regularly communicate with their child's Carers. This can be in person, by phone or written messages in the Communication books. However, messages for the Director can be left in the locked Fee Box.

Noticeboards throughout the centre will display upcoming events and important information. Personal information and monthly newsletters will be placed in each of the Parent Pockets available.

 

If you have any concerns regarding the care of your child please talk to the Director or your child's Group Leader. WE ARE ALWAYS HAPPY TO ASSIST.

 

Iddy Biddy Kids is a family oriented Child Care Centre that aims to meet the aspirations of both Parents and Staff, so in order for children to gain the most from their experience at the centre, our staff must maintain and uphold high standards.
