At Blossom Daycare, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us.

This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, store and protect personal information when you visit our website, contact us, make an enquiry, or register interest in our childcare, nursery or pre-school services.

This policy should be read alongside any registration forms, parental agreements or childcare policies we provide when a child joins our setting.

Blossom Daycare provides daycare, nursery and pre-school care for children in the UK.

For data protection purposes, we are the data controller for the personal information we collect and use.

·  Business name: Blossom Daycare UK Ltd

·  Trading name: Blossom Daycare

·  Address: Mount Hawke, Cornwall

·  Email: contact@blossomdaycare.uk  

When you use our website or contact us, we may collect parent or carer details such as your name, email address, phone number and address.

We may also collect child details such as your child’s name, age, date of birth, proposed start date and any information you choose to provide about their childcare needs.

If you send us an enquiry, we may collect the information included in your message, such as preferred sessions, availability, questions about our services, or details about your circumstances.

When you visit our website, we may collect basic website information such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited and cookie preferences.

We may also keep records of communications, including emails, contact form submissions and call notes.

If your child later attends our setting, we may collect additional information such as emergency contacts, medical information, allergies, safeguarding information, permissions, attendance records and development information. This will be covered in our childcare registration documents and privacy information.

We use personal information to:

·  Respond to enquiries.

·  Provide information about our daycare, nursery and pre-school services.

·  Manage waiting lists or registration interest.

·  Arrange visits, settling-in sessions or childcare discussions.

·  Keep appropriate records of communications.

·  Meet our legal, regulatory and safeguarding responsibilities.

·  Improve our website and understand how visitors use it.

The Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK data protection regulator, says organisations must provide clear and concise information about how they collect and use personal data, and children have the same data protection rights as adults.

Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for using personal information.

We may rely on consent where you ask us to contact you or agree to receive updates.

We may rely on contract where we are taking steps before entering into a childcare agreement with you.

We may rely on legal obligation where we must keep records or comply with childcare, tax, regulatory or safeguarding requirements.

We may rely on legitimate interests where we need to respond to enquiries, manage our service or operate our website.

We may rely on vital interests in rare cases where information is needed to protect someone’s life.

We may rely on public task or legal safeguarding duties where information must be shared to protect a child or meet statutory requirements.

For special category data, such as health information, allergies or medical needs, we will only process this where we have a valid legal reason to do so, such as providing appropriate care, meeting legal obligations, or protecting a child’s vital interests.

Because we provide childcare services, some of the personal information we collect may relate to children.

We will only collect information that is necessary for the care, safety, wellbeing and development of the children in our setting.

We take extra care with children’s personal information and aim to make our privacy information clear and accessible.

We do not sell personal information.

We may share information where necessary with:

·  Parents, carers and authorised emergency contacts.

·  Ofsted or other regulatory bodies.

·  Local authorities.

·  Health professionals, where appropriate.

·  Safeguarding agencies, where required.

·  IT, website, email or software providers who support our business.

·  Professional advisers, such as accountants, insurers or legal advisers.

·  Law enforcement or public authorities, where required by law.

Where we share children’s information for safeguarding reasons, we will do so where there is a compelling reason and where it is in the best interests of the child.

We take reasonable steps to keep personal information safe, including:

·  Limiting access to authorised staff.

·  Using secure systems where possible.

·  Keeping paper records secure.

·  Using passwords, access controls and other security measures.

·  Reviewing the information we hold and deleting it when it is no longer needed.

We only keep personal information for as long as necessary.

For website enquiries, we will usually keep information for up to [insert period, for example 12 months], unless the enquiry leads to a registration or ongoing relationship.

Where a child attends our setting, some records may need to be kept for longer to meet legal, insurance, safeguarding, tax or regulatory requirements.
