Privacy Policy

How we collect, use and protect personal information.

Who We Are

Saint Panteleimon Nursery School, 660a Kenton Road, Kenton, Harrow, Middlesex, HA3 9SB, is the data controller for personal information submitted through this website. You can contact us on 07930 834240 or at nursery@stpanteleimon.co.uk. This notice explains how we handle information you give us through this website; separate policies cover information we hold about enrolled children, families and staff, which are available from the nursery on request.

Information You Give Us Through This Website

Our enquiry and visit forms ask for the details we need in order to reply to you and arrange a visit.

  • Your name, email address and contact number.
  • Your child's first name and approximate age or date of birth, if you choose to give them.
  • The days or start date you are interested in.
  • Optional information about funding, and any message or comments you choose to add.
  • How you heard about us, if you choose to tell us.

Please Only Share What Is Needed

All questions other than your name, email address and contact number are optional at enquiry stage. Please do not include detailed medical, dietary, religious or other sensitive information in a website enquiry — we will ask for anything we genuinely need, securely and directly, if your child joins us.

Why We Use It, and Our Lawful Basis

We use your details only to respond to your enquiry, answer your questions, arrange a visit and discuss the availability of a place. Our lawful basis is legitimate interests: you have contacted us about a nursery place and expect a reply. We do not use your enquiry to send marketing, and we never sell or share your details for marketing purposes.

How It Reaches Us

When you submit a form, the details pass through our website hosting and email delivery providers so they can be delivered to the nursery's own mailbox. The information is transmitted over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. We do not keep a copy of your enquiry in the website database; it exists only in the email sent to us. Our email delivery provider keeps a short-term technical delivery record (timestamp, recipient address and message ID, but not the enquiry content) for a limited period in order to confirm delivery.

What We Do Not Do

  • We do not store enquiry contents in the website database.
  • We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies.
  • We do not add your details to a marketing list or send marketing emails.
  • We do not use a third-party form service.

How Long We Keep It

Because no copy is held on the website, the enquiry exists only in the nursery mailbox. It is kept only for as long as we need it to deal with your enquiry and any place we offer. Where an enquiry does not lead to a place, we delete it once the conversation has clearly ended, and in any event within 12 months. Records for children who join us are then kept under the nursery's retention policy.

Who We Share It With

We do not share your enquiry with anyone outside the nursery, except where we are required to by law or where there is a safeguarding duty to share information with Harrow Council, the police or another statutory partner. Our website hosting and email providers act as our processors under contract and may not use your information for their own purposes.

Transfers Outside The UK

Our website hosting and email delivery infrastructure is not exclusively UK-based, so your information may be processed outside the UK. Where that happens it is protected by the safeguards permitted by UK data protection law, such as the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

Keeping It Secure

This website is served over HTTPS, form submissions are not stored in the browser or on the website server, and access to the nursery mailbox is restricted to the leadership team and administrators who need it. We do not use any third-party form, marketing or advertising service on this website.

Your Rights

Under UK GDPR you may ask us for a copy of your information; ask us to correct or delete it; ask us to restrict or object to how we use it; and ask us to transfer it. We will respond within one month.

  • To make a request, email nursery@stpanteleimon.co.uk or call 07930 834240.
  • You will not be charged, and we will not treat your enquiry differently for asking.
  • If you are unhappy with our response, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.

Cookies

This website does not use advertising or analytics cookies. Your language choice is remembered in your browser's local storage so the site stays in the language you picked, and the map on our Contact page loads only if you choose to load it. Full details are in our Cookie Policy.

Contacting Us About Your Data
