The goal of Building Blocks Day Care Catford is to protect the welfare and security of every nursery student.
We believe that children have a right to play and learn in a nurturing, caring, and secure environment, including a right to protection from all forms of abuse. Staff members should be on the lookout for any signs of a child who may be in distress and should feel comfortable using our safeguarding procedures to prevent and address any such issues.
Please speak with the nursery's designated safeguarding lead if you have ever had any concerns regarding the safety or wellbeing of someone attending our childcare (DSL).
Building Blocks Day Care is dedicated to preserving and advancing children's welfare, and we expect all of our employees and volunteers to share this dedication.
This indicates that we have policies and procedures in place for child protection.
On request, parents and caregivers are invited to read the Policy.
When there are worries regarding a child's wellbeing, we may occasionally need to exchange information and collaborate with other organisations.
The Lewisham Safeguarding board will be notified immediately if this concerns the nursery manager (LADO).
