At Wise Owls, the safety, welfare, and protection of every child in our care is our highest priority. We believe that children have the right to feel completely safe—free from fear and protected from harm. Our commitment to safeguarding is embedded in everything we do, and we work tirelessly to create a nurturing environment where children can thrive.

Millie’s Mark: A Symbol of Excellence in Paediatric First Aid

We are proud to announce that Farm View Day Nursery have successfully achieved Millie’s Mark accreditation—the gold standard for paediatric first aid in early years settings. This prestigious award is a clear demonstration of our dedication to going above and beyond minimum requirements to ensure the highest level of care and safety for every child.  Our other nursery teams have all been trained in paediatric first aid and we are going through the accreditation process at this time.

Millie’s Mark means:

• All of our staff are trained in paediatric first aid, giving you peace of mind that your child is in safe hands.
• Our teams are confident, capable, and prepared to respond swiftly and effectively in any emergency.
• We continuously review and improve our safety practices to maintain the highest standards.
