Registered Childcare Registration & Inspection Policy
REGISTRATION & INSPECTION February 2010
Wendy’s registration number: 146982
Louis’ registration number: 146983
As required, our Registration Certificates are displayed in the entrance hall.
We will notify you in advance where reasonable and practicable that
we are to be inspected where we have had notification of a forthcoming inspection.
We will notify when an inspection has taken place and a copy of the inspection report will be supplied by us or can be downloaded from www.ofsted.gov.uk.
DATA PROTECTION ACT 1998
We are registered with the Information Commissioner as we hold information and records on our computer. These are used to enable us to be aware of the needs of your child and meet those individual needs, your preferences, and allow us to make contact with yourselves or other designated individuals when required, particularly in an emergency.
With your help we will endeavour to ensure these records are accurate.
Records relating to individual children are retained for a reasonable period of time, e.g. three years, after the children have left the provision.
We are aware of the need to maintain privacy and confidentiality; however, they will be made available to those who have a right or professional need to see them.
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000
Parents must be given access to developmental records about their child. A written request must be made for personal files on the children and we must take into account data protection rules when disclosing records that refer to third parties.
Parents should be allowed access to all written records about their children (except in exceptional cases where data protection laws stipulate it is against the best interests of the child to do so)
and, where requested, comments from parents are incorporated into children’s records.
