At Ferryport Nursery, the safety, wellbeing and rights of every child are at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to providing a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment where children feel valued, respected and protected.
Every child has the right to be cared for, kept safe and supported to reach their full potential. We take our responsibility to safeguard children very seriously and recognise that protecting children is everyone’s responsibility. Effective safeguarding relies on positive partnerships between families, staff and other agencies working together in the best interests of children.
If you have any concerns about the wellbeing or safety of a child, please speak to a member of staff.
