Keeping Children Safe

Keeping Children Safe

Keeping pre-school children safe online

The internet and technology is a part of nursery curriculum. Its vital we keep children safe online. We do this by supervision, parental blocks and ensuring that all games and apps which are accessible to the children are age appropriate and suitable.

Teaching Children to stay safe

Safeguarding the children in our care is woven into our daily practice. We not only keep them safe, we teach them how to stay safe in many ways. In Blue Group, one of the resources we use is the NSPCC Pantosoraus song to support children's understanding that is is important to keep our privates, private!
Click on the picture above to play the Pantosaraus song, why not sing it at home!!

If you would like to know more about Safeguarding in nursery please see our Child Protection/Safeguarding Children's Policy in the Policies section.
