8.26 Hot Drinks Policy |
In partnership with parents and carers, Wakefield MDC has duty of care to maintain safety and welfare of all children who access its Early Years Services. This includes a responsibility to ensure the health and safety of all those using and/or visiting nursery premises.
All individuals delivering services within the setting must adhere to the hot drinks policy.
All hot drinks transported from a kitchen area to a rest room or meeting room must be carried within a lidded safety cup.
Hot drinks in an unsealed cup may be consumed where there are no children present and not expected to be present.
If a child should inadvertently be brought into a room where hot drinks are being consumed, then every effort must be taken to minimise potential risk to the child.
