SAFETY & SECURITY
.jpg)
At Footprints, we are aware that security is an issue that every parent wants addressed when it comes to the safety of their children. Due to the sale of the farmland around us, our environment has changed dramatically and we have had to rethink our security to include higher fences and gates and a secure entry system. During COVID, parents were not able to bring their children into the nursery, and we found that this helped the children to settle much more easily; therefore, we have retained the practice and parents continue to drop off and collect their children at the door. CCTV monitors cover all external areas of the nursery and are recorded on a daily basis.

Cyber Security
Security is of key concern at Footprints and eyLog takes its security measures very seriously. eyLog offers fully locked-down secure tablet devices to ensure they are not misused in any manner – Facebook, e-mails, etc., are all disabled on these specially configured high-security tablets. Each user has a separate user-ID and password and using a role-based access mechanism, a user is permitted to see only the information that is relevant for them.
​
eyLog uses the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to encrypt all communication between the server and the tablets. All data is stored on secure Cloud-based servers in data centres located here in UK. All data is regularly backed-up onto redundant systems.
Protecting against Germs and Viruses
