Toy Safety Policy

Image by MORAN

Following ROSPA (The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) guidelines, I:

​

  • Only buy toys from recognised outlets and look for the CE symbol and the 'Lion Mark'.

  • Make sure toys provided are age appropriate.

  • Am particularly careful with toys for children under three.

  • Am wary of young children playing with older children’s toys.

  • Check for loose hair and small parts, sharp edges and points.

  • Ensure that garden swings and slides are robust and are not a strangulation hazard.

  • Check toys regularly for wear and repair or dispose of them when necessary.

  • Keep the play area tidy.

  • Follow the instructions and warnings provided with toys.

  • Supervise young children at play.

 

If toys are given to the setting or bought from other than a retail outlet, I always check for their state of repair and their suitability to the age range of the children in the setting.  All second- hand toys are cleaned before being given to the children.

​

All toys in the setting are regularly cleaned and checked for their state of repair.

​

If toys containing batteries are not in regular use, their batteries are removed.
