Week Commencing 14th September


Dear Parents and Carers,

 
20th Party

Thank you to everyone who came to our 20th party at the weekend. It was an excellent day and we had a great turn out.

 

Neighbour

I just wanted to let you know that our neighbour who lives to the left hand side of us has let us know he is having his front wall re built next week, so to be careful when walking up and down the hill as there could be rubble around.

 

Interactive Learning Diary

Don’t forget to check out all the exciting things your child has done this week, on their ILD profile.

We aim to put at least one observation up per week.


 

Policy of the week

We will be displaying a different policy every week at the bottom of this newsletter.

If you would like to see this or any of our policies please ask Jess.

Our Policy this week is: Data Protection policy

Useful websites:

Here are the links for the Surrey Family Information Service, Free Early Education (the 15 hours funding) and Free Early Education for Two year olds.


 

Menus

There are no planned changes to this week’s menu.

See attached document for the weekly menu. If you would like to see a copy of our allergens menu at any time please ask!

 

This week’s activities

Each key person will be responsible for designing an activity based on their key children’s needs; however, all children who are in on that day will have the opportunity to access the activity too.

If the key person is on holiday or off, another staff member will be able to lead the activity in their place so that the children do not miss out.

For more information on the Early Years Foundation stage, the guidance we use to support our planning and practice, please visit:

Data Protection policy

 

Aim of policy

 

To give guidance as to what Data Protection is and how it affects Castle Daycare and Preschool.

 

Points to consider

 

This policy works with our confidentiality policy and the Data Protection Act (1998).

 

Castle Daycare and Preschool aim to achieve this by:

 

Keeping relevant records on children and staff. These records may be filed onsite or archived at the registered office when the child/ staff member has left.

 

Records will be kept for the regulated amount of time depending on the nature of the record.

 

Records shall be kept securely either by password protected computer systems or in the case of paper documents, locked away. Access to this information is only to be given to suitable people.

 

Castle Daycare and Preschool Ltd is registered with the Information Commissioners Office, as part of the Data Protection Act 1998. Our ICO registration reference is Z1203871

 

What is Data Protection?

There are several key principles of Data Protection law, these are:

  • Data may only be used for the specific purposes for which it was collected.

 

  • Data must not be disclosed to other parties without the consent of the individual whom it is about, unless there is legislation or other overriding legitimate reason to share the information (for example, the prevention or detection of crime). It is an offence for Other Parties to obtain this personal data without authorization.

 

  • Individuals have a right of access to the information held about them, subject to certain exceptions (for example, information held for the prevention or detection of crime).

 

 

  • Personal information may be kept for no longer than is necessary and must be kept up to date.

 

  • Personal information may not be sent outside the European Economic Area unless the individual whom it is about has consented or adequate protection is in place, for example by the use of a prescribed form of contract to govern the transmission of the data.

 

  • Subject to some exceptions for organizations that only do very simple processing, and for domestic use, all entities that process personal information must register with the Information Commissioner's Office.

 

  • The departments of a company that are holding personal information are required to have adequate security measures in place. Those include technical measures (such as firewalls) and organizational measures (such as staff training).

 

  • Subjects have the right to have factually incorrect information corrected (note: this does not extend to matters of opinion)
