Keeping your Children Safe

Safety and Security

The safety and well-being of children is paramount. Every precaution is taken to ensure that the Nurseries and outdoor play areas are enclosed and secure.

The Blue Strawberry Kids Daycare Ltd actively works to safeguard and promote the welfare of all children. We have a legal responsibility of care to report any concerns to the appropriate authorities.

• A coded door entry system means that no unauthorised person can enter the premises, all visitors are fully monitored and asked to sign in at the entrance.
• We personally greet each family as they arrive at nursery, obtaining any relevant information to ensure their individual needs are met.
• At the end of the day we ensure that each family receives feedback on their child.
• We operate a strict collection policy; we ask for all parents to provide us with a generic password to be used by anybody other than known parents or carers upon your request.
• Both nurseries have break glass fire alarm systems and we carry out regular fire drills to ensure that correct procedures are followed and evacuations are successful. Every member of staff is given full training in emergency procedures.
• All equipment is carefully selected, well maintained, regularly inspected and tested.

All staff are taken through a robust induction process which encompasses an Enhanced DBS check being carried out. This process supports staff in becoming familiar with reporting safeguarding concerns and following correct safeguarding procedures.
