In accordance with the Early Years Statutory Framework, which states;
Specific legal requirements
Providers must ensure that children are in a smoke-free environment.
Statutory guidance to which providers should have regard
Providers should have a no smoking policy which ensures that no one smokes in a room, or outside play area, when children are present or about to be present. If, exceptionally, children are expected to use any space that has been used for smoking, providers should ensure that there is adequate ventilation to clear the atmosphere
As such we operate a no smoking policy in our home.
No one is permitted to smoke anywhere in our home.
We will not take the children into smoky environments and will avoid places that permit smoking wherever possible.
