At Malthouse Nursery School, all aspects of safeguarding are taken seriously. All staff are appropriately qualified to work with children and have enhanced DSB clearance (Disclosure and Barring Service)

In accordance with Ofsted all nursery settings are required to issue a statement regarding the safeguarding of children:

As a day carer registered with Ofsted, Malthouse Nursery School is required to follow the Safeguarding Children Procedures agreed through the Wiltshire’s Local Safeguarding Children Board.

As a provider involved in the care of your child, we will try at all times to share with you any concerns we may have. However, we do have a duty to refer to Social services if we suspect that child abuse may be an issue.

Our first concern will always be the welfare of your child. I have a copy of the Safeguarding Children in Wiltshire Procedures and Guidance document for you to see if you wish.

Contact:
Designated Safeguarding Officer: 01225713945
Out of Hours Emergency Duty Service: 08456070888
