behaviour & guidence
a happy and comfortable day
In this section
The aim of the Creche is to maintain an environment, which encourages children to be cooperative, fosters self-esteem and develops a child’s ability to interact with others.
Each group within RCK has Group Behaviour guidelines for indoor and outdoor. These are drawn up in consultation with parents and provide age/developmentally appropriate limits for the group. Copies of these guidelines are in each group. The guidelines are monitored and evaluated regularly to ensure they remain appropriate.
The establishment and observance of group behaviour will:
- Encourage cooperation.
- Encourage a child to accept responsibility for their actions.
- Assist the child to understand and appreciate the rights, feelings and needs of others.
- Help to develop respect for others.
- Help the child to learn the rules and limits of the group in which they live so they can enjoy interaction in their peer group.
- Support the child in developing positive and secure relationships with adults.
To meet these objectives the staff will encourage appropriate behaviour by:
- Avoiding conflict by distracting from a situation or giving another toy to play with.
- To encourage the child to accept responsibility for and the consequences of their actions.
- To understand and appreciate the rights, feelings and needs of others.
- To develop respect for others.
- To understand limits which are based on safety and concern for others.
- To learn rules and limits of the group in which they live so to enjoy interaction in the peer group.
- Develop positive secure relationships with adults.
