Arrivals and Departures Policy

At The Man In The Moon, we ensure the safe arrival and departure of all children in our care.

Keeping Records:

We maintain an accurate record of all children attending our activities.
Arrivals and departures are recorded in a register, which is always accessible on the premises.
Regular head counts are conducted during sessions.

Arrival:

Parents/carers should not drop off children in the car park.
Parents/carers should accompany children into the venue.
Children and parents/carers are greeted warmly and attendance is recorded immediately.

Departures:

Children are collected by an authorised adult.
If someone else needs to collect the child, parents/carers must inform us in advance with a description and password. If in doubt, we will contact the main parent/carer.
Parents/carers must notify us if they will be late. If not informed, we follow the Uncollected Children policy.
Children can leave alone only with prior written consent from their parent/carer.
Children under eight will never leave unaccompanied.

Absences:

Parents should notify us in advance if a child will be absent.
If a child is absent without explanation, we will contact the parents/carers.
We investigate prolonged or unexplained absences to see if additional support is needed.

Related Policies:

This policy should be read alongside our Equalities, Safeguarding and Suspension and Exclusion policies.
