Walton Lane - A Safe Place

Walton Lane – A safe place

As a parent or carer you want to know that your child is safe when they are at nursery or school. At Walton Lane Nursery School and Rocking Horse Club we want exactly the same. We have a set of policies and procedures to keep everyone safe and these are regularly reviewed to ensure continual improvement.

If a member of staff has a serious concern about a child then the Centre is required to discuss this with the parent and/or report it to the relevant professionals.

If you, as a parent, have a safeguarding concern please contact one of our designated safeguarding leads (DSL) in the first instance
The senior DSL is Ros Eccles
The deputy DSLs are Leanne Hickman and Jan Holmes
All DSLs can be contacted on 01282 613437
The safeguarding governor is Anita Spokes

Please help us to keep the children safe at Walton Lane Nursery School and Rocking Horse Club
Parents, carers and families can help us to keep children safe in a number of ways
• Mobile phones and other devices with cameras cannot be used on our sites.
• Make sure to close doors after yourself as children can get out quite quickly.
• If your child brings a bag to nursery then make sure that everything inside of it is safe to be around 0-5 year olds.
• Drive slowly, safely and considerately on the car park – young children are not aware of the dangers of car parks.
• Keep us up to date with new telephone numbers so we can contact you quickly if needed e.g. if your child becomes ill whilst at nursery.
