Safeguarding & Child Protection
Our most important policy. How we keep children safe, our designated safeguarding lead, and how to raise a concern.
Policies
Everything we promise, in writingWe hold a full set of policies covering everything from safeguarding to food allergies. Documents are reviewed annually and signed off by the governing body of our parent school, Vita et Pax Preparatory.
A note on these documents. Little Vita’s Nursery operates under the governance and policy framework of Vita et Pax Preparatory School during this transition to a standalone business. The PDFs below are the parent school's current policies, which apply equally to the nursery. Nursery-branded versions will replace these as part of our pre-launch work. Hard copies are also available at reception.

Behaviour Policy
Our positive, age-appropriate approach to behaviour management — written for early years.
Anti-Bullying Policy
How we prevent bullying behaviours and respond to any unkindness, age-appropriately, in our nursery setting.
