Why CCTV Sets Banana Moon Bromley Apart: Safety, Trust and Leadership in Early Years

📹 40 Cameras, One Vision: Why CCTV Is a Strength at Banana Moon Bromley

At Banana Moon Bromley, safeguarding is not just policy. It is practice. From our zero lone working culture to our extended safer recruitment checks and full-room inductions, everything we do is designed to protect children, support staff and reassure families.

Our CCTV system plays a key role in that approach. With almost 40 cameras installed across the setting, we are one of the few nurseries in our area offering this level of visual safeguarding. It works alongside strong leadership, consistent staff presence and a culture built on care, not compromise.

Supporting Safety and Confidence
CCTV strengthens the professional systems we already have in place:

Cameras are positioned in shared areas including playrooms, gardens, entrances and corridors
No cameras are placed in nappy changing or toileting spaces
Footage is stored securely and only accessed by authorised members of the management team
All access is password protected, time-stamped and reviewed in a secure space
Signage is clearly displayed throughout the nursery

We are fully registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and operate in line with UK GDPR and the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) safeguarding framework.

Supporting Reflective Practice
Our leadership team uses CCTV to support continuous improvement. It allows us to:

Review room layouts, transitions and staffing flow
Reflect on day-to-day routines and identify areas for improvement
Strengthen professional development through real-life examples
Use evidence to support our health and safety audits and operational planning

This helps us maintain and continuously refine high standards.

Respectful, Purposeful and Professionally Led

Footage is held only for a set period of time and never accessed without a valid reason
All access is managed by named senior leaders, with secure logging and internal restrictions
Our management team are fully trained in the legal, ethical and professional use of CCTV
Footage may be reviewed to support internal investigations or concerns, helping ensure clarity and a fair outcome for everyone involved

We also follow NSPCC guidance on creating safe early years environments through responsible use of technology.

Visitor Monitoring
We do not allow any unaccompanied visitors. Our CCTV system supports this policy by offering added visibility when maintenance contractors, inspectors or external professionals are on site.

What Sets Us Apart

Many nurseries still do not use CCTV. Fewer still use it as part of a wider approach to professional development, risk management and reflective leadership. At Banana Moon Bromley, our system, with nearly 40 cameras, a fully trained senior team and secure policies, is part of our 360-degree safeguarding strategy.

It does not replace people. It supports them. It helps ensure children are protected, staff feel confident and parents feel reassured.
