At CJ’s Little Pickles we are committed to promoting children’s health and wellbeing. This is of the upmost importance for the nursery.
Smoking and the use of e-cigarettes has proved to be a health risk and therefore in accordance with legislation, the nursery operates a strict no smoking/vaping policy within its building and grounds. It is illegal to smoke in enclosed places.
Any employee found smoking on the premises will be subject to disciplinary action which may result in your employment being terminated without notice or payment in lieu.
Students, parents, carers, contractors and any other visitors to the premises are also prohibited from smoking or vaping on the premises.
Staff accompanying children outside the nursery, are not permitted to smoke/vape. We also request that any parents accompanying nursery children on outings refrain from smoking/vaping while caring for the children.
Staff must not smoke/vape while wearing nursery uniform as it is essential that staff are positive role models to children and promote a healthy lifestyle. If staff choose to smoke/vape during breaks they are asked to change into their own clothing and smoke/vape away from the main entrance/nursery premises.
We respect that smoking/vaping is a personal choice, although as a business we support healthy lifestyles.
