Hi everyone!
Me again - you can tell I am updating all my policies as I am coming to you for advice again!
Someone has told me you need to have a nappy changing policy, is that true?
Does anyone have one I could have a look at and see how to word my own?
Many thanks!
Kelly : )

I don't think you have to have one, though as most of my mindees are about the same age, I decided to have a joint nappy change and potty training policy. Happy to share if you PM me your email address.
Though I did just lose one of my mindees as my policy was to send them in pullups...
"If they continue having regular accidents I may ask that they have a nappy or pull up to wear" and as mindee soiled 3-4 times a day as he was on medication, each time very soft and they refused to put him in pullups, they kept him home and refused to send him again! :(

Here's my policy: if it's wet, dirty, smells (or if my son-in-law threw it on in his normal slipshod way) I change it.
On my induction course, I was told we needed a nappy changing policy (and a couple of dozen other superfluous ideas), and absolutely must use disposable gloves.
I 'phoned Ofsted to enquire: they'd never heard of the need for a policy.
I've never used disposable gloves for changing nappies. (Had to use them when repairing people and picking up bits when I worked on the trains, and hated it 'cos they gave me an itchy heat rash.) Ofsted had no problem with it when they inspected.
