Quality Assurance

Stevenage Borough Council's Toddlers Groups' Initiative has developed a Quality Assurance (QA) scheme. Baby and Toddler Groups in Stevenage can apply to take part in the scheme.

To achieve the standards necessary for this award, groups will need to meet criteria that will include:

• Undergoing training in first aid and child protection.
• Adopt appropriate policies.
• Consider the Birth to Three Matters Framework, to ensure that good practice is applied to their settings.

The award is assessed by Stevenage Borough Council's Play Development Officer to ensure that high standards are maintained.

Groups that achieve the QA status will be stamped with the QA logo.
