Would you like to volunteer at Miss B’s Nursery or complete work experience?

Under the statutory guidance from the Department for Education and the EYFS, anyone working in a nursery should be subject to appropriate safeguarding and suitability checks, including volunteers, students, apprentices, and work experience placements.

Then I will carry out the same safer recruitment checks as you would for an employee, including:

  • Enhanced DBS check.
  • Barred List check (if undertaking regulated activity).
  • Identity check.
  • References where appropriate.
  • Suitability declaration.
  • Induction and safeguarding training.

Occasional Volunteers

For example:

  • Parents helping at a Christmas fair.
  • A parent reading a story once.
  • One-off visitors.

Generally:

  • I will carry out a volunteer DBS check
  • Must remain supervised at all times.
  • Must never be left alone with children.
  • Must be aware of and follow safeguarding procedures.
