Complaints Policy
At Movilla Playgroup and Nursery we aim to provide the highest quality care and education for all children attending the Playgroup and Nursery.
We aim to provide a warm, welcoming, caring environment which will enable all children to learn and develop as they play.
We intend to work in partnership with parents/carers to meet their needs and the needs of their children.
We welcome comments/suggestions on how to improve any area of our setting’s practice or provision.
We will endeavour to resolve any concerns through discussion with the appropriate staff member quickly and informally.
All comments and complaints will be taken seriously and dealt with fairly and confidentially.
If a parent/carer is not satisfied with any aspect of our practice or provision and cannot informally resolve the issue they may then follow the Playgroup and Nursery Complaints Procedure.
Procedures
We will seek parents’ views by:
Comments
- Encouraging parents to place comments in the Comments book which can be found on the table in the foyer.
- Ensuring comments are shared with staff on a regular basis.
Complaints
- Ensuring parents are aware of the following steps to take if they feel a complaint is necessary.
- Concerned parents/carers should firstly speak to the Playgroup and Nursery Leaders.
- If the issue is not resolved or reoccurs the parent/carer should put their complaint in writing to the Playgroup and Nursery Leaders.
- If the parent/carer and Playgroup and Nursery fail to reach agreement an external mediator may be invited to help resolve the issue.
- In some circumstances it may be necessary to involve Social Services who will investigate the complaint further.
