There has been a lot of publicity in recent years regarding nurseries and the quality of care they provide. For this reason we have installed secure-access webcams to show parents how dedicated we are to providing the best quality childcare. Our affiliated nursery in Rendlesham was the first nursery in Suffolk to do this. As it has been such a success we are delighted to be offering the same service at Bridge Farm Nursery.

Parents are able to log on via a secure website to see how their children are enjoying their day. We find this particularly helpful when children are settling in, to show parents how quickly a child feels at ease after their parents leave the room.

We believe our webcams send a positive signal to parents that we have full confidence in our staff and are happy to be watched in our work looking after their children. Security is also ensured. Parents are only allowed to log on to the room in which their child is playing and only for the time that their child attends. Security steps including passwords and encryption technology ensure that the system is not open to abuse. The system also provided CCTV so if there is an incident during the day, the parent will be able to see exactly what happened.

All staff who come to work for Bridge Farm Day Nursery are told about the webcams and are happy with the system we use. We only employ people who have enough confidence in their own ability and dedication to the job to be happy to be watched by parents while they work.
