Safeguarding and Early Help

The Governors and staff of Spire Nursery and Infant School take seriously their responsibility to promote the safeguarding and welfare of all children entrusted to our care.

Child Protection is everyone's business, even when out in the community. If you believe that any child is in danger call Starting Point which is the focal point for Social Care support on 01629 533190 choosing the option for urgent child protection or contact the police.
