We were founded in 1974 by members of the local Gingerbread group for children from single-parent households; however, we now welcome all families.The organization is run by a volunteer committee made up of parents from all sections and other interested parties.Except for bank holidays and Christmas closures, the museum is open every weekday from 8 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. throughout the year.Management and employees.The organization has a volunteer management committee because it is a charity.The committee is made up of the Organization's trustees, who are in charge of ensuring that everything runs smoothly in order to achieve the goal.The majority of employees have the necessary qualifications, which are regularly updated.These are reviewed at Ofsted Registration and checked on an appointment basis.Toys and equipment are two types of toys.The equipment we provide is appropriate for the children's ages and stages, and it provides opportunities for them to practice their physical, social, personal, and intellectual skills.This includes positive images of men and women of various races and cultures, as well as people with and without disabilities.Keeping Children Safe.Our goal is to create an environment where children are safe from abuse and any suspicion of abuse is addressed quickly and appropriately.To accomplish this, we follow all Ofsted guidelines, which include ‘disclosure’ checks and references that are followed up on, and employees are hired on a probationary basis until these checks are verified.We want all children to feel loved and safe, regardless of their circumstances.This will provide a solid foundation for them to grow and learn with confidence.We promote British Values, which are explained in the link below as a simple guide to making all of our families feel included and valued.https://www.pacey.org.uk/news-and-views/pacey-blog/September-2015/fundamental-British-values-in-the-early-years/ We're also well aware that society and children use the internet on a regular basis, which can raise safety concerns.Please find links to websites that provide guidelines for protecting yourself and your children below.I believe you are aware of this.Childnet, CEOP.Line for children.The foundation of the internet is important, so stay safe online.internet sitesPlease be aware of our safeguarding policies and contact us if you have any questions or suggestions.Please feel free to come into the office if you have any concerns about a child or an adult.Other contact information for concerns, such as Ofsted and Committee Members, can be found in our foyer.
