We
have recently installed CCTV in the nursery to help us manage the playrooms and
activities more effectively. As part of this we have also provided a secure,
free of charge, internet viewing facility for parents (viewing by your mobile
phone will also be available soon). The
viewing system is extremely secure and full details can be accessed via the link
to the NurseryCAM website below (click on security). Only parents are allowed to
access viewing via the internet and they may only view their child's playroom
when he or she is attending. The nursery has to authorise all viewing accounts
and no one else can access the images.
Parents are restricted to 15 minutes viewing each day and only between the hours of 9.30 -12.00 and 2.00-4.00 so that viewing would not normally occur when parents are dropping off or collecting their children. Once a child attends the nursery then you may apply for a viewing account - this is easy to set up and requires no specialist software or knowledge. A full parents guide may be downloaded from the NurseryCAM website via the link below.
NurseryCAM gives parents confidence - we have all seen the horrors that occur in many nurseries. We have always been confident of our staff (otherwise we wouldn't provide parent viewing) but with the combination of management CCTV and parents webcams a transparency has been introduced where there can be no hiding place for bad practice.
