Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

This website is operated by The Children's Montessori (trading also as Mini Monty Nursery), [registered company name], [company registration number], of [registered address]. For the purposes of UK data protection law, we are the data controller for information collected through this website.

2. What we collect

This website does not use a contact form. If you get in touch with us — for example by emailing us via the "Book a Visit" link or calling the number shown on the site — we will only hold the information you choose to give us, such as:

• Your name and contact details (email address or phone number)
• Your child's age or age group, where you mention it
• Any other details you include in your message

We do not collect payment details, account passwords, or any information about your child's care and education through this website. That information is only ever collected directly, in person or through our enrolment paperwork, once you have chosen to join us.

3. How we use it

We use the information you send us only to respond to your enquiry, arrange a visit, or answer your questions about places, funding, or opening hours. We do not use it for marketing unless you separately ask us to keep you updated, and we never sell or share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

4. Our legal basis for processing

We rely on our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries from prospective families as the legal basis for handling the details you send us. Where you ask us to keep in touch about availability, we rely on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

5. Third-party services on this site

This website embeds a small number of third-party services to make it work properly:

• Google Maps — used to show the location of our two settings. Google may set cookies and collect usage data when the map loads. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google Fonts — used to display the typefaces on this site, loaded from Google's servers. See Google's Privacy Policy.

We do not currently use analytics or advertising cookies on this website. If that changes, we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent first.

6. How long we keep it

If you enquire but do not go on to join us, we keep your message for as long as reasonably needed to respond, and delete it within 12 months unless you ask us to keep in touch for longer. If you enrol with us, your records are kept in line with statutory requirements for early years settings in England.

7. Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:

• Ask us what information we hold about you, and get a copy of it
• Ask us to correct anything that is inaccurate
• Ask us to delete your information, where we have no legal reason to keep it
• Object to, or ask us to restrict, how we use your information
• Withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on consent

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, you can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time, for example if we start using new third-party services. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
