At the Riverside Nursery, we consider the safety of your child to be our first priority.
As well as having a very high staff to children ratio, there are a number of safety features that we put into practice. For example, the entrance door has not just one, but two doorbells! (In our experience, children just love to ring the doorbell!) In order to gain entrance to the Nursery, parents and visitors have to be granted access by a member of staff.
We have several security cameras linked to a CCTV recording system, in order to monitor the safety of the Nursery from the outside, and also to enable the manager to monitor activities around the outside of the nursery & in the reception area.
There are a number of state of the art security features built into the fabric of the building. Below is a selection of these safety measures we have in place.
