Car Seat Safety
A child car seat is a legal requirement. The law states that all children travelling in the front or rear seat of any car, van or goods vehicle must use the correct child car seat until they are either 135cm tall or 12 years old.
​
It is the driver's responsibility to ensure that children under the age of 14 years are restrained correctly in accordance with the law.

Keeping Safe Online
The online world offers endless opportunities for children but at the same time can present potential risk. At Brook Farm Children's Nursery we understand the online world can be an absolute mind field for. Nevertheless, the online environment plays a HUGE part of children’s lives and therefore we can no longer consider their wellbeing or safety without also considering their relationship to technology.
Staying safe online is essentially about our behaviour towards it rather than the technology itself.
