We at Featherstone Nursery School promote equality of diversity and we show this by respecting and learning from each other. The following code of conduct applies to all our families, children and staff:

• We are kind and friendly
• We keep ourselves safe and take care of others
• We are sensible and helpful

Positive Behaviour Management

• We emphasise the positive behaviour we see. You get more of the behaviour you pay attention to. E.g. “Thank you for sitting sensibly with your legs crossed.”
• We give positive instructions to the children. This emphasises what we want the children to do. E.g. “Take your coats off and sit down on the carpet” rather than “Stop running about.
• We ensure that all staff are consistent in their behaviour management

We all follow the above code of conduct at all times. We look at our environment and routines regularly to see if changes we could make could impact positively on the children’s behaviour. E.g. we changed the layout of a room to prevent children running through the nursery.
