Security is of paramount concern to us. With this in mind we operate a video Intercom access system to protect children and nursery staff. This system allows nursery personnel to monitor and control who can get into our building. Parents simply press buzzer at the entry door, staff sees and identify them on camera, before given access.
We operate an “open house” policy where registered parents can enter the nursery any time of the day. They can leave or collect their children without fuss whiles unregistered visitors without authority to come to the premises would not be allowed in.
CCTV operates all-round the premises for the protection of children, staff and parents. It drives away burglars, stalkers, vandals and other unwelcome visitors. Images are retained on the system for an extended period of time and then automatically erased
Your children’s education and wellfare are our main priorities
