Pre-School Policies & Procedures

Having clear policies and procedures are essential for our pre-school.  These guide our daily practice ensuring a safe, nurturing, inclusive, and high-quality learning environment for every child. These policies help staff, parents, carers, and visitors understand how we work, what we value, and the standards we uphold here at the Lymington Centre Pre-School.


Please see below a full list of policies and procedures which are consistently being revised and reviewed.
