The Welfare Team

Providers please be aware that all the policies, procedures and guidance documents are presently being reviewed and updated.  The review should be complete by the end of October.
The welfare consultants focus on the welfare requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage and provide settings with an understanding of the legal requirements set out in the Statutory Framework for the EYFS.

Our aim is to ensure providers create environments which are welcoming, safe and stimulating, and where children are able to enjoy learning through play, to grow in confidence and to fulfil their potential.

These pages should provide settings with an overview of each Welfare Requirement and the subsections they should have regard to, including supporting materials which providers can use to develop their own templates for relevant documentation.

All the documents on these pages are for reference only and providers are encouraged to use the information as a basis to develop their own materials.

Every setting can request the support of their welfare consultant to develop these materials and update documentation.
