In doing this it ensure children are always mentally stimulated to the best of their abilities in accordance to their needs and age group.
In the workplace health and safety is monitored and maintained by the use of risk assessments which are displayed on walls around the nursery to make people aware of the hazards and encourage a safe working environment for all.

One of these is the manager, who oversees the nursey ensuring there is a correct child to staff ratio and level of supervision in each area and all toys and equipment are in good condition and easily accessible.
