Safety & Security
The safety and security of our children is a top priority, and our reception area is designed so that visitors can be carefully controlled. Families are greeted by our nursery manager when dropping off and collecting children, before doors are locked and monitored closely by our staff. We have a password system in place to give parents peace of mind that only authorised adults can collect their child. Parents and guardians can leave their child in our care, safe in the knowledge that they are in a secure environment.
