Glow Bambino – Health, Safety, and Hygiene Policy
At Glow Bambino, the health, safety, and well-being of our families are our top priority. We understand the importance of creating a clean, secure, and nurturing environment for babies and young children. Below is an overview of the measures we take to maintain high standards of safety and hygiene during every session:
Safety and Risk Management
- A written risk assessment is conducted for all venues used, reviewed every three months, and retained for three years.
- A visual risk assessment is completed prior to every session to ensure the space is clean and hazard-free.
- Fire drills may be conducted occasionally, with prior notice to all participants.
- All venues have appropriate toilet and baby changing facilities, which are checked before each session. Please inform us if anything is not up to standard.
- Trip hazards are minimized by asking participants to store bags and coats away from the session area.
- Adults are requested to remove shoes and wear socks during sessions for hygiene and safety.
Illness and Cleanliness
If you or your child are unwell with a contagious illness, we kindly ask that you do not attend class.
- All sensory equipment is cleaned between sessions using safe, high-quality products.
- Session leaders start each session with clean hands and no outdoor shoes.
- We use Zoono Z-71 Microbe Shield products to clean sensory items, which provide long-lasting protection against germs. Soft items are washed and thoroughly dried before reuse.
- Hand sanitiser will be provided at the beginning and end of each session.
- In case of COVID-19 symptoms or recent contact with a positive case, please refrain from attending.
Sensory Play Equipment
- Some sensory items used are not classified as toys and may not be suitable for unsupervised use. Items may include:
- Natural materials (e.g., pinecones)
- Items with small parts or batteries (recommended for age 3+)
- Babies and children must be supervised at all times during sessions. Use of all equipment is at your own risk.
- We will advise when specific items are intended for adult-assisted use only.
Lighting and Electrical Safety
- All plug-in electrical equipment is PAT tested and checked before each session.
- We use LED lighting with minimal heat output and avoid UV and strobe lighting to protect developing eyes.
- Babies should not handle or tamper with any electrical or lighting equipment.
- We carefully select calming, age-appropriate lighting to enhance the sensory experience. If your child experiences any discomfort, consult your healthcare provider.
Insurance, Safeguarding, and First Aid
- All Glow Bambino franchises hold full public liability insurance.
- Session leaders have up-to-date DBS checks and a solid understanding of safeguarding procedures.
- A first aid kit is always available. And leaders are first aid trained.
- We are committed to anti-discrimination, anti-bullying, and promoting mental health awareness. Discriminatory or abusive behavior will not be tolerated. Offenders may be asked to leave without a refund.
Accessibility and Inclusion
- We strive to create a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental environment.
- We welcome children and families with additional needs and will make reasonable accommodations wherever possible. Please contact us with any specific concerns.
