What information we collect
Information you give us
When you contact us (for example to book a tour, ask about admissions, make a general enquiry, or send a professional referral), you may provide:
Your name and contact details (email, phone)
Your child’s name (or initials/first name) and date of birth/age (where relevant)
Days or start dates you’re interested in
Any other information you choose to share in a message (for example questions about funding, settling-in, allergies, or additional needs)
Sensitive information (health/SEND): If you choose to include information about a child’s health, allergies, disability, or additional needs, this is treated as sensitive personal data. We only use it to respond appropriately and support your enquiry/admissions process, and we take extra care to keep it secure.
Information we collect automatically
When you use this website, we may collect basic technical and usage information, such as:
IP address, browser type, and device information
Pages viewed and time spent on the site
Approximate location (e.g. city/region level)
We use this information to understand website usage and help keep the site secure. We use analytics data in aggregated form and do not try to identify you.
How we use your information
We use your information to:
Respond to enquiries and questions
Arrange visits and manage admissions
Share information you’ve asked for (for example term dates or funding guidance)
Monitor and improve our website and keep it secure
Meet legal and regulatory obligations as an early years provider
We will not send marketing messages unrelated to your enquiry unless you explicitly ask to receive them.
Our lawful bases for using your information
Under UK data protection law, we rely on different lawful bases depending on what we are doing:
Legitimate interests – for responding to enquiries, arranging tours, and running our website effectively
Consent – for optional analytics cookies (see “Cookies” below)
Legal obligation – where we must keep records to comply with the law and early years regulations
Vital interests / safeguarding – in rare cases, where information must be shared to protect a child or someone at risk
Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time (for example by changing your cookie preferences).
Who we share information with
We do not sell your information.
We may share information with trusted service providers who help us operate this website and communications, such as:
Framer (website hosting and built-in forms)
Google Tag Manager (GTM) and Google Analytics 4 (GA4) (website analytics — only if you consent to analytics cookies)
Service providers are required to keep information secure and only use it to provide the services we’ve asked for.
We may also share information where required by law or regulation, or with appropriate authorities if there is a safeguarding concern.
International transfers
Some of our service providers may process information outside the UK. Where this happens, we use appropriate safeguards (such as approved contractual protections) to help keep your information protected.
How long we keep your information
We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purpose it was collected.
As a guide:
Enquiries and tour requests: typically kept for up to 12 months after your last contact, unless you become a registered family
Admissions/child records: kept in line with legal requirements and our internal retention schedule
Website analytics: kept for a limited period within our analytics settings
When information is no longer needed, we delete it securely.
How we keep information safe
We take appropriate steps to protect personal information, including limiting access to inboxes/systems and using secure passwords and access controls. We only share information with service providers who are expected to meet appropriate security standards.
