Arrivals and Departures Policy
It is Rainbow’s End Policy to ensure that children are collected in a safe and secure manner.
Collection of children other than by normal parent or guardian
Our policy at Rainbow’s End is to ensure that a person who is known to the members of staff or is properly authorised by the parent or guardian to do so collects children.
In the event of a child being collected by a person who is not the parent/guardian of the child, the staff members shall ensure that:
-
Prior notification has been given to a member of staff re carer.
-
This must be confirmed in writing by parents using the collection book situated in the corridor.
In the event that the staff members are not satisfied that the collector is properly identified or approved, he staff member will contact the parent or guardian and request that they arrange to meet the child.
Policy
For health and safety reasons, please do not park outside the village hall. We would be grateful if parents could use the car park opposite the hall. When crossing the road, there is a yellow square on the pavement, which is recognized as the safest spot to cross.
Parents are asked to arrive and depart promptly to avoid disruption.

Entrance to the hall is at the back of the hall on the left hand side. Children should hang their coats up, put their snack in to the provided box and wait until the main doors are open.
Should parents arrive early there is a notice board in the hallway for parents to read and room at the back of the stage that has seating and books.
