This policy is written to outline how Ladybird Pre-School Nursery use their social media pages and the standard that must be followed at all times to ensure the safety and confidentiality of the children and staff.
All parent/carers are made aware of our social media pages and how we use them. All parents/carers are made aware that our social media pages are ‘open’ pages meaning that anyone on social media can view and interact with our page. All parents/carers are given the choice to consent or not consent to images of their child being included on our social media pages. All parents/carers are provided with a copy of this policy at the point of registration.

- Children who feature on our pages are not named.
- Staff who feature on our page are not named.
- Only children who we have gained consent from parents/carers are included on our pages.
