We are please to say we are an accredited Millie's Mark Nursery.
What is Millie's Mark? Millie's Mark is awarded as a special endorsement to childcare providers that go above and beyond these minimum requirements by having 100% of staff trained in paediatric first aid, and also ensuring that everything learned during the course is kept alive and in the forefront of practitioners’ minds so that they are confident, ready and capable.
Millie's Mark in Scotland
There are no specific requirements for the number of paediatric first aid trained staff under Scotland’s Health and Social Care Standards. However 1.24 of the standards states that 'Any treatment or intervention that I experience is safe and effective'; 3.14 states that 'I have confidence in people because they are trained, competent and skilled' and 4.14 states that 'My care and support is provided in a planned and safe way, including if there is an emergency or unexpected event'. These standards require sufficient individuals to be trained in paediatric first aid and to have the confidence to act in an emergency.
Each child is allocated a keyworker who is responsible for settling your child at nursery. The special relationship your child develops with their key person will help them feel cherished and secure – giving you peace of mind, too. The keyworker monitors each child’s progress, maintains developmental files and plans for the child’s individual needs. Keyworkers work very closely with parents from the very first contact until the child leaves to go to school, this helps to ensure that the care the child receives at Nursery is consistent with approaches used at home.
