Business in a Box

 

This is our innovative creation to help new and existing businesses get their settings in order. We have developed an infrastructure which will enable anyone to open a Breakfast, After School or Holiday Club setting with every procedure, form and policy already complete, we call in our 'Business in a Box' and it literally arrives already arranged into files and folders in a box ready to be put into practice. It would be equally suitable for someone wanting to refresh and existing settings policy and practice. Everything is prepared for you - from how to file accident forms so they can be reviewed monthly for H&S and Safeguarding requirements to the forms and folders to make it happen. We'll even give you some Activity Planners & Instructions too, so the 'To Do' list in your first weeks of business will be kept to a minimum.

 

Standard Box Contents 

​

• Parents Folder - this has everything in it that you need to make parents aware of about your setting, including Policy, procedure, Accident Notification procedure and blank complaints forms. You can add pages with photographs of your club and activities if you wish and should be kept easily accessible for all visitors.

• Club Development Folder - this contains your self evaluation, 

• Children RAS folder - this contains details, logs and behaviour and support plans for all children Requiring Additional Support. It should be kept very securely and every member of staff should read and sign that they have read it.

It also contains blank allergy alert notices and wristbands.
