Student Placement

We recognise that the quality and variety of work which goes on in a pre-school makes it an ideal place for students on placement from Early Years training and qualifications as well as those on the Diploma in Pre-school Practice or Tutor Fieldworker courses.

In co-operation with educational providers, we welcome students into the pre-school on the following conditions:

• The needs of the children are paramount. Students will not be admitted in numbers which hinder the essential work of the pre-school.

• Students must be engaged in bona fide early years training which provides necessary background understanding of children's development and activities.

• Any information gained by the students about the children, families or other adults in the pre-school must remain confidential.

• Unless registered as fit persons, students will not have unrestricted access to children.  

This policy was adopted at the Blakesley Pre-School Playgroup Annual General Meeting on 30th June 2003
