As a day nursery we are required to keep personal data for each child as set out by the Early Years Foundation Stage. This is for both contractual reasons and also for Emergency reasons. We are  required to inform you of how we, both process and store personal data in our setting.

The Information We Collect

In the nursery setting we are mainly paper based and all records are stored securely within the office in a filing system.  We do use a Facebook group  and software called Famly for all news relating to the nursery setting, and we use emails and Famly for invoices, policies and permissions. No unauthorised people have access to these records and any visitors to the nursery setting sign in and will never be left alone with any confidential information.  Please refer to the policies for further information.

How We Use Your Data

Sometimes we may need to share information with other settings to ensure your child is getting the best possible and consistent care. However permission is sought for this. Major safeguarding concerns will be the only occasion we may need to share information without permission. Please see our safeguarding policy for further information. Mostly we use the data to enter into a legally binding contract with each family, and also to use in the event of an emergency.

We are covered by the ICO for using a nursery mobile phone to make contact with you and to store your numbers and also to take photos of your child. Photos are deleted as soon as possible, always within the same day as taken. The phone is fingerprint protected and only management staff have access to it.

Once a child leaves the nursery setting the only data that we will keep will be the ones required by law, please see our GDPR Policy. You will take some data away with you and anything else non statutory can be destroyed at your request.
