At Garretts Green Nursery School we uphold the principles and values outlined in The Prevent Strategy for combating extremism and our staff are aware of the forms that extremist behaviours may take.

May we ask you to avoid using mobile phones in the Nursery School building, please. We believe that the drop off and collection of young children should be a special time that focuses on the children. Also, there are times when staff need to speak to parents and it can be difficult if parents are using telephones.
