Security

The playroom door is kept locked by staff. Parents, carers and visitors all need to ring the door-bell to gain entrance and a visitors' book must be signed. Visitors will also be provided with a visitor's badge to wear during their stay. Mobile phones and cameras are not permitted in the Pre-school classroom.

Parents and carers are asked to wait in the corridor during arrival and departure times. A member of staff will stand at the playroom door at the start and end of each session to ensure the entrance is secured.
