Dear Parents,
Please do not arrange to have your older children wait for you after school at the ELC as it puts us in a difficult position of having to take responsibility for them . Under our license conditions all children who are not accompanied by a responsible adult have to count as part of our ratio. This makes it difficult after school if we have extra children here as we would not then have the correct ratio . The children are also not signed in and we would not be able account for them in an emergency situation.
We are quite happy for them to come with a parent/guardian to help collect a sibling but would remind you to ask them not to play on our equipment as it is not designed for older children and makes it difficult for our afternoon staff who are supervising the ELC children,
Thanks for your co-operation
Jeanine
