From the Stepping Stones Nursery & Pre-School (Claverdon) CIO
In a tranquil country setting in Claverdon, Warwickshire, Stepping Stones is an Ofsted-rated "Outstanding"* term-time nursery and pre-school with charitable status.
We put a lot of effort into creating a fun, supportive environment where your child can access both group and one-on-one learning areas.
We have a lovely outdoor environment that is available all year long, offering plenty of fresh air and room to develop, learn, and discover the marvels of nature.
Schools are required to put plans in place to protect and advance the welfare of children under the Education Act of 2002 (Section 157 for academies, free, and independent schools against Section 175 for maintained schools).
Parents and caregivers should be aware that all school personnel are required by law (Children Act 1989) to share information that raises questions about a child's welfare, including the possibility of neglect or physical, emotional, or sexual abuse.
Generally speaking, staff will try to talk through any issues with the parent or caretaker and discuss the need to refer the child to Children's Social Care if it is deemed necessary.
When a school has a good reason to believe a child may be suffering or is likely to be experiencing serious harm, the school will ask Children's Social Care for guidance.
On sometimes, worries are expressed that are later proven to be baseless.
The fact that Stepping Stones Designated Safeguarding Lead fulfils their duties in line with the law and acts in the best interests of all children will be appreciated by parents and caregivers.
Joel, her second child, is now thriving at Stepping Stones as a preschooler.
