The nursery has a main door controlled by a security entry monitor system. Buzzers are located in the office and playrooms. We must ask parent/carers to be patient and allow a little time after pressing the buzzer for the staff to come to the door. If there is noone in the offices it will be staff working with your children in the playroom operating the buzzer. We try to encourage the children to understand that only adults should open all doors.

The staff will sign children in and out of the building. This is also a Fire Register for safe evacuation from the building in the event of an emergency. Only a named person will be allowed to collect a child from the nursery. 

It is essential that parents/carers inform the child’s key worker or management if someone different is collecting their child. Management and staff will check with parent/ carer by phone if there is any doubt at all about the person collecting – this is to ensure the safety of children in our care. Continual updates of adults who are authorised by parents/ carers to collect their children from nursery will be requested and if suitable a photograph may be used to emphasise any adult who should under no circumstances collect a child. Mobile phone use is not permitted in any playroom or general public area where children may be around i.e. cloakroom.
