About this resource

EYFS Intimate Care Policy - Editable Template (Updated for September 2026) Intimate care is one of the most important parts of looking after young children, and one of the trickiest to get right on paper. This editable policy gives you clear, sensitive wording that protects children’s dignity, supports your staff and reassures families. It’s fully up to date with the EYFS statutory framework that came into force on 1 September 2026. It works for school Reception classes and for nurseries and pre-schools, with School and Nursery wording options throughout. Just keep what applies to you and delete the rest. What’s included: A professional editable Word document with a clean, neutral design and space for your school badge or logo 15 clear sections covering toileting and starting school, working with parents, intimate care plans, nappy changing procedures, toileting accidents, safeguarding, hygiene and recording Clear wording on the Equality Act, so no child is refused a place or left out because they’re not yet toilet trained Helpful “Edit for your setting” prompts in every section, so you know exactly what to personalise Two ready-to-use appendices: a parental consent form and a printable intimate care record sheet A setting summary table and a list of references to key DfE and UKHSA guidance
