This means, among other things that we must let you know how we handle your data and who has access to it.

Terms and Conditions

By signing I am giving written consent that I have read and consent to data protection information (as above), terms and conditions and our policies and procedures (on the website). Horizon Childcare has the right to cancel my contract if I do not cooperate and adhere to policies and procedures, or Early Years Foundation Stage requirements, for which I will receive four weeks’ notice. I also understand that four weeks' written notice is required to end my child’s place at nursery and at least four weeks' usually childcare will be charged for upon Horizon Childcare's understanding I would like to cancel the place.
 
I understand that it is my duty as a parent to help keep the children of Horizon Childcare safe. For this reason, I will not bring items into the nursery that could hurt any other child. I will also not allow my child to bring items into the nursery that could cause harm to another child e.g. small toys.  I understand that it is appropriate at certain tiems of the day that age groups will mix and for this reason it is highly important that all children's personal age-appropriate toys are left at home. I will not ask about other children who attend the nursery or seek to gain information about other children who may or may not attend the nursery. I will help to keep the premises safe and secure and will not grant access to anyone unless they are authorised by a member of the staff team. I will not seek to gain unsupervised access to any children in the nursery and will pass on all appropriate messages to help with the care and education of my child.
 
I am also giving written confirmation that I have filled in this form as accurately and honestly as possible giving as much information to the best of my knowledge. If any information has not been brought to the attention of the nursery upon registration Horizon Childcare will not be held liable. Any details missed from this form can compromise my child's level of care and education. If my child develops any dietary or medical needs after registration these will be communicated in writing to the Manager in order for the staff team to be informed.
 
I understand that Horizon Childcare is required to abide by the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework. I will regularly ensure that the nursery has the most up to date information about my child and our family e.g. emergency contact numbers, allergies, medications, changes within the home and outside agencies such as social workers or childminders. I also understand that it is a requirement of each parent to be involved with my child's learning in and to assist the nursery in this matter including: being willing to attend meetings in relation to my child; adding observations from home to the Interactive Learning Diary system when possible; and engaging with my child at home to enhance their learning.
 
I understand that Horizon Childcare has a duty to complete assessments such as 2 year old checks. I understand that it is necessary for some of the data from 2 year old checks to be shared with the Speech and Language Team in Devon. For more information on this please speak to the office.

If my child is absent due to sickness, the nursery should be notified as soon as possible.  If my child is unwell I will abide by the nursery exclusion periods and am aware that these are in place to reduce the risk of spreading illness or infection. I will respond promptly (within one hour) to phone calls from the nursery to advise that I need to collect my child due to illness. If my child becomes ill at nursery a member of staff will contact me or my emergency contacts. I will also follow the nursery’s strict medication policy if my child needs medicine whilst at nursery. If my child is unwell I understand there will still be a full charge for the nursery as the staff will already be on site.

Horizon Childcare operates a zero tolerance policy and will cancel my contract if I harass or intimidate any of the staff.

I understand that holiday periods booked in advance will be charged at the reduced rate of 50%. I understand that I must give a full weeks notice to receive the 50% discount.

Late Fees and early fees will apply if I bring my child into the nursery around their booking time without giving the nursery notice to amend staffing structures appropriately (7 days notice where possible).

I understand it is part of the nursery’s ethos to make links within the local community which also includes taking the children out on walks. I give consent for the staff to take my child on short trips within the community to enhance their learning experiences. Horizon Childcare will also plan various activities including, but not limited to, food tasting and cooking so I understand it is my duty to inform them of any allergies my child has to protect them from harm.

I understand that photographs and video footage of the children are taken and used for observation, assessment, training purposes, and displays within the nursery. I consent for my child being photographed and videoed for these purposes only. I understand it is also necessary for the Horizon Childcare to use my child's full name within the setting and it is my duty to inform them if there are any reasons why this might not be safe for my child. Separate permissions for photographs may be given e.g. social media. All photos of children will be stored and shared in line with General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).

I understand personal information is kept about my child in line with the safeguarding and welfare requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage and General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). This information will only be shared with necessary staff and the local authority (Devon County Council) for the purposes of providing appropriate care for my child. Records are kept once children have left in line with Local Authority guidelines and some documents may be stored off site if permitted by our governing body Ofsted. When children are in receipt of additional funding, such as the Early Years Extended Entitlement or Childcare Tax Credits, data may also be shared with third parties as necessary, all of whom carry their own Data Protection Statements.
