Clear and consistent guidelines and instructions are very important to children. They give them a sense of understanding which behaviour is acceptable in order to keep them-selves safe as well as learn social skills.
 | We are kind, polite and considerate towards each other’s feelings. |  | We all play nicely together. |  | children are included and encouraged to take part in the same activities (depending on age). |  | Bad language will not be tolerated. |  | All children are encouraged to share toys and resources. |  | All children are expected to treat toys and resources with care. |  | All children will value other people’s property |
…AND ALWAYS HAVE LOTS OF FUN…  Good and wanted behaviour will always be praised not just to the child but also to parents and other carers.  | Unacceptable behaviour will always be disapproved of. |  | Children who hurt or upset another child will be expected to apologise. |  | I will inform the child of what they have done wrong and why it was unacceptable. |  | Children in my care will not be smacked, physically or emotionally hurt or humiliated. |
