1. Core Philosophy & Dignity
Intimate care is carried out safely, hygienically, and with utmost respect for the child's dignity, privacy, and bodily autonomy. Children are never rushed, shamed, or made to feel uncomfortable regarding natural bodily functions or toileting accidents.
2. Safety & Hygiene Procedures
• Designated changing stations equipped with safety safety rails, steps, and soft mats.
• Staff wear single-use disposable gloves and aprons for every individual nappy change.
• Changing surfaces are wiped with hospital-grade disinfectant and lined with fresh disposable paper liners between every child.
• Nappies and wipes are sealed in antibacterial sanitary disposal units immediately.
3. Toilet Training in Partnership with Parents
Educators work closely with parents to support potty training when a child displays developmental readiness. Staff use praise, patience, and positive reinforcement to build confidence, while maintaining a relaxed schedule that mirrors home routines.
4. Child Safeguarding in Care Routines
All intimate care is performed in open-sight accessible restroom areas by vetted permanent female nursery assistants and teachers. Intimate care logs are kept recording time and any unusual skin observations or concerns.
