Staff Appraisal
Staff appraisal will take place in April each year and will consist of a one to one meeting between the member of staff and the nursery manager/proprietor.
Prior to the meeting each member of staff will be given a letter advising of the date of the meeting, and inviting them to consider the following pointers which can be discussed in the meeting:
- Immediate improvements which could be made in relation to this individual's job.
- Immediate improvements which could be made to the nursery.
- Longer term improvements which could be made either to the nursery or the individual's job.
- How the individual would like to see the job develop in the coming year.
- New areas of work or responsibility that the individual would like to take on.
- Any difficulties which the individual is experiencing in the work.
The nursery manager will bring forward any issues that are felt relevant to the work of this particular member of staff and will make notes on the discussion which arises. A copy of the notes will be given to the member of staff shortly after the meeting.
If as a result of the meeting specific action is considered relevant, a date for this action to be completed will be set, and the member of staff will be informed of this. Where necessary a date for a further meeting will also be set.
Copies of staff appraisal notes will be kept locked in the appropriate personnel file.
