Pet Policy

I believe that children can learn a lot from having contact with animals, however certain

procedures will be followed to ensure the safety of the children;

• Children must be encouraged to treat all animals with respect, learning how to handle

   them correctly.

• Children must wash their hands after any contact with animals and understand the

   reasoning behind this.

• Children must be taught that not all animals are child-friendly and that they should

  always check with the animal’s owner before attempting to stroke or handle them.

• Food for the pet must be stored safely away from the children’s reach.

• A high standard of hygiene must be followed, with careful thought given to the

  placing of the feeding and drink bowls of dogs and cats.

The garden must be checked every morning before the children are permitted outside to

play, to ensure that no animal has fouled it.

We have 2 cats called Blue & Maisy in our setting.
