Safety Standards for Mobile Creches

 

At Tinies Creches we make sure all childcare legal requirements are followed - making sure the children at your event will be properly looked after.

Parents must feel happy about the childcare arranged. Our policies and procedures are displayed at every event. These clearly detail what we will do in all eventualities to safeguard their child. These can also be sent to parents prior to the day through arrangement with your Tinies Planner.

Alternatively parents can visit our pages Parent Information or Parent FAQs to find out more.

Legal requirements for mobile creches

Under current legislation the majority of childcare we provide is exempt from Ofsted registration. Where required we will apply for an exemption letter or proceed to full registration. At this stage your Tinies Planner will inform you of any additional costs associated with Ofsted registration. Tinies Creches' operations manual is written in line with Ofsted standards and we comply with these at all times, making registration purely a formality.

Risk assessment

For mobile creches Tinies Creches carries out a full risk assessment of the areas to be used for children at least 7 days in advance and agrees with the venue if changes need to be made. If a venue requires Ofsted registration, risk assessments and registration documentation is completed at least 12 weeks in advance.

We have public and employers liability insurance and can provide you with a copy on request.

Suitable event premises

We require a suitable room or space that is safe and secure to entertain children. Whilst we can turn most space into a children's wonderland, here are some considerations and requirements:

The event space needs to:

  • Have the ability to be made secure
  • Be available for sole use by Tinies Creches
  • Have toilet facilities nearby (1 toilet & hand basin to every 10 children)
  • Be 3.7 sq metres of unencumbered space per child
  • Have all free standing, unsuitable equipment and furniture removed
  • Be available at least 1 hour before and after the event for set up and pack down.
