Safeguarding

At St Vincent's Nursery we work with children, parents, external agencies and the community to ensure the welfare and safety of children and to give them the very best start in life. Children have the right to be treated with respect, be helped to thrive and to be safe from any abuse in whatever form.

It is our primary responsibility to support the children within our care, protect them from maltreatment and have robust procedures in place to prevent the impairment of their health & development.
