Welcome to the nursery/ childcare facilities at BUMC. It is our desire that all of the children who come our way will be happy, feel safe, and know that God loves them and so do we. In order to ensure this kind of environment for your child, we have established policy guidelines for our church. Our Nursery/ Childcare Supervisor is responsible for the facilities and all nursery/ childcare use.

REGISTRATION
On your first visit to the nursery you will fill out an information card about your child. The card will be filed in the supervisor’s office so that we will have all necessary information when needed.

SIGN-IN SHEETS
A Sign In Sheet needs to be completed each time you leave your child in our care (parents name, location, special instructions, etc.). Sheets are posted outside the door of the room in which your child will stay.

LOCATING PARENTS
When the nursery/ childcare staff need to reach a parent due to illness, injury or because a child is inconsolable for 15 minutes (unless  otherwise instructed by the parents), they will utilize one of two methods:
*  If the parents are in worship, one of the ushers will be notified by the nursery staff and the usher will let the parents know they are needed in the nursery.
*   If parents are in other locations on campus, they will be located by a member of the nursery staff.
Please report to the nursery as quickly as possible.

FEEDING/FOOD
We will gladly warm a bottle for your baby. No foods will be given to your baby except what is brought in the bottle. On Sunday mornings only a small snack (plain cookies or crackers) will be given to children in toddler and 2 year old room. All snack items will be purchased by the Nursery/Childcare Supervisor. Please notify the nursery/ childcare staff verbally of any food allergies each time your child enters the facilities and write it in the "special instructions": portion of the sign in sheet.

DIAPER BAGS
Nursery logo diaper bag tags are available for your use through the nursery staff worker in your room. Please label with your child’s name the diaper bag, bottles, pacifiers, snuggle toys, and any other personal belongings.

ALLERGIES/ILLNESS
Parents are requested to notify the nursery/childcare staff of any allergies, special instructions or needs regarding your child. No medications are to be given to any child while in our care.

We are committed to protecting the health of your child/children by providing a clean environment for them. Health policies have been established to safeguard the health of children and staff, to minimize illness and the spread of communicable diseases, and to comply with State and Parish regulatory requirements. All paid nursery staff have taken First Aid and are CPR certified.  Children exhibiting signs of illness will not be allowed to use the nursery/childcare facilities. If a child has already entered the facilities, the parents will be notified so that others will not be exposed to their illness.
