Childcare Providers - Information and Support

Wigan Council is committed to developing and sustaining high quality professional childcare. You are invited to download the following templates to support you and your home-based or day-care setting in developing childcare policies and procedures.

Policies and procedures will need to be unique to your setting.

The following templates will provide you guidance and additional points for consideration when writing or reviewing your own policies. They will link you to the Early Years and the Childcare Registers and will also provide you with other useful links to websites and organisations that can offer further information.
