SAFEGUARDING

Your Child’s Safety Is Our Priority

Safeguarding isn’t just a policy at NexGen Stars — it’s the foundation of everything we do. Every team member undergoes enhanced DBS checks, completes paediatric first aid training, and participates in regular safeguarding updates. We maintain staffing ratios above the legal minimum because we believe every child deserves individual attention and consistent care.

Every Child Deserves the Best Start

We support children from 9 months to 16 years with caring guidance, structured learning, and enrichment designed to help them thrive at every age.
