Behavioural Management Policy

Statement Of Intent

Our setting believes that children flourish best when their personal, social, and emotional needs are met and where there are clear and developmentally appropriate expectations for their behaviour.

​

 Aim

We aim to use positive pro-active strategies to promote positive behaviour in children, and set these strategies within our programme for personal, social, and emotional development.

will meet this aim through the following procedures, these include supporting each child:

·         Developing self-esteem, confidence and feelings of competence

·         Developing a sense of belonging in our group, so that they feel valued and welcome.

·         Acknowledging considerate behaviour such as kindness and willingness to share

·         Providing activities and games that encourage co-operation and working together

·         Avoiding creating situations in which children receive adult attention only in return for inconsiderate behaviour

​

We do not:

·         Use or threaten to use physical punishment.

·         Use techniques intended to single out and humiliate individual children, such as ridicule or sarcasm.

·         Use physical restraint, such as holding, unless to prevent physical injury to children or adults and/or serious damage to property.
