Your child's wellbeing is our absolute priority.

keeping your child safe

We know that choosing childcare means trusting us with your most precious person or people. Here's how we create a secure environment for learning and play.

Our qualified team

Every member of our team undergoes rigorous checks before working with children. All staff hold:

Enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checks
Current first aid certificates
Relevant Early Years qualifications or are working towards them through our training partnerships

Our team receives regular safeguarding training and follows strict procedures to protect every child in our care.

Site security

Lancaster Lodge is a fully secure site with controlled access throughout. Our safety measures include:

Secure perimeter fencing around all areas
Electronic gate entry systems with unique access codes
Comprehensive visitor procedures with ID checks and supervision

Safe collection procedures

We'll only release your child to people you've specifically authorised. You'll provide us with details of everyone approved to collect your child, and we’ll ask for advance notice of any changes.

Daily safety checks

Our staff complete thorough risk assessments of all indoor and outdoor areas before children arrive each morning, ensuring everything is safe and ready for another day of discovery.

If you have any questions about our safety procedures, we're always happy to discuss them with you.

Supporting every child to thrive

Our experienced team works closely with families to identify and support children who may need a little extra help along the way.

Whether your child has a diagnosed special educational need, is waiting for assessment, or you have concerns about their development, we're here to support your whole family.

Our inclusive approach supports all children to learn and grow in an environment that understands and supports their individual needs.
