The safety and security of all children, staff, parents and visitors is of paramount importance to us at The Wendy House. The premises are monitored by a CCTV Surveillance System, in compliance with our obligations under the Data Protection Act 2018 and GDPR. Cameras are visible in 12 locations throughout the building, enabling management to oversee multiple locations at all times, ensuring complete protection for all children and staff.
