Creche Safety



Are Creches are safe and Reliable for a child......



It's up to you to judge how good or safe the crèche is. Many crèches lack even the basic infrastructure and services required to facilitate good childcare so do make sure you look out for the following:


  • Ideally, all creches must be registered. Unfortunately, this is usually not the case. Do speak to the manager of the crèche to clarify this issue.

  • Security must be of high priority. The crèche must have qualified and police verified staff, security guards, and support staff. Each child must have an identity card. The parents or guardian should have an authorization card. Under no circumstances should a child be handed over to a stranger claiming to be a relative. Unauthorised persons should not be allowed to enter without a valid reason.
  • Check out if the nursery is part of a chain or a school brand. Daycare centers, crèches, and nurseries that are part of chains or schools are usually more reliable and tend to have better infrastructure.
  • Professional staff, managers, and supervisors must be qualified and trained. Have a word with the manager to understand about the child and caregiver ratio. This will help you assess if they are short staffed or if there are enough people to look after the young ones.
  • Check the creches policy on support staff. Are the security guards, sweepers, cooks, drivers verified by the police? Are they allowed to Play feed or look after your child in the absence of the teacher or ayah?
  • The creche should have clearly established policies for everything from holidays, opening and closing times to dealing with an emergency. By checking that these procedures are in place, you can see that the crèche takes the responsibility of caring for your child seriously.
  • There should be a medical room and a doctor on call to handle emergencies. The staff should have the necessary first aid training.
  • The creche should have a good reputation that is accompanied by a warm and environment. Talk to other parents who have their babies in the creche to ensure that the place is good and safe for your child.
  • The creche should have play equipment, toys, play areas and living areas that help stimulate your child.

    " About the Creche " Creches are designed to help - where possible - the problems of finding child care for parents who are in part-time work, full-time education, retraining or who simply need time to themselves if they are a lone parent and have no other source of child-care to fall back on. Idea of Creches The idea of Crèches is that a number of specially trained adults will look after a designated number of children in a conducive and child-friendly environment for a set number of hours per day. These hours are normally in the morning. Creches are designed so that their group numbers are never about twenty-six and this is so the adult to child ratio is maintained at around six children to one adult. The average age range for children attending a crèche is between one and eight years of age and the adults responsible for the care of the children in their charge must be fully checked and accredited by the Criminal Records Bureau who will issue ...
