Health & Safety
OUR APPROACH TO CARING FOR YOUR LITTLE ONES
The health and safety of children and our educators is a key area of focus for us.

Our educators all have current First Aid Certificates and we have a number of policies and procedures to ensure the safety of both children and staff. If you want to know more, pop in for a visit to discuss or give us a call.

Health

Our holistic methods and strategies support and manage:

- children’s health
- children with ongoing health problems
- general illness

Hygiene

What We Do

Controlling the spread of infectious illnesses through good hygiene is an important practice that our educators practice follow and model to children.  Children are supported in understanding techniques such as correct hand washing and learning to perform them independently.

Sun Safety

Sun Smart

We practice Sun Smart recommendations made by the Cancer Council Western Australia.  These include planning daily routines to coincide with when children should not be in the sun, and ensuring children are protected when in the sun with appropriate clothing, sunscreen, hat and hydration.  

Dental Care

Shiny Healthy Smiles

The centre promotes dental care by:
- Encouraging healthy eating habits.
- Offering water after lunch and to quench thirst.
- Incorporating information on dental health practices in the centre program for staff, children and parents

Immunisation
Cottesloe Child Care Centre encourages the immunisation of all children and staff attending the centre.

We obtain each child’s immunisation record at enrolment. Children who are not immunised, or whose enrolment immunisation record is incomplete, are excluded from the centre if there is an outbreak of a disease that is preventable through vaccination. Our immunisation policy exists to protect children who may have been exposed to infectious diseases because of close contact with the other children in the centre.  We also ask that parents keep us informed as immunisations occur.
