Safety and hygiene in crèches

Q-kids

Children are a very vulnerable group. To limit the risks to their health, a self-checking system is a legal requirement. This system includes measures that assure parents that the food in the crèche is safe from purchase to consumption. Q-kids is our specialised service for this. The Normanists in this team know better than anyone how it all works. With the right support, they make sure you feel confident at every FASFC inspection.

Our Normanists are happy to support and coach you:

• By coaching staff in schools, crèches, holiday camps and more.
• By helping you create a manual based on self-checking guide 41, designed specifically for group care.
• By drawing up an allergen plan.
• By supporting you during a Smiley audit.

Simple manual for crèches

Keeping a self-checking manual is essential in crèches. It is a useful tool for daily management, and in the event of an FASFC inspection you have all the right documents to hand straight away.

Our Normanists have developed a simple version based on Kind & Gezin's self-checking guide 41. With this step-by-step guide, you gradually create your own manual tailored to your crèche.

The package includes:

• Tools such as blank templates (cleaning and disinfection plan, allergen posters, etc.)
• A paper and a digital version (USB) of the manual.
• An allergen poster with all 14 legally defined allergens.

The manual is delivered within one week of payment. A Normanist will then contact you to answer any questions.

Allergen management

Crèches also face growing challenges when it comes to food allergies. Our company-specific coaching answers all your questions.
