Privacy Policy.
This privacy policy explains how Tiny Toez collects, uses and protects personal information when you use our website, contact one of our nurseries, make an enquiry or apply for a role with us.
Who is responsible for your information?
Tiny Toez operates a group of early years nursery settings in the UK. For the purposes of applicable UK data protection law, the relevant Tiny Toez organisation is responsible for the personal information described in this policy.
Insert the full legal company name, registered office address and company number here if these are not already displayed elsewhere on the website.
This page primarily covers information collected through the Tiny Toez website. Separate privacy information may apply to children and families once a nursery place has been arranged or a child is enrolled.
What personal information might we collect?
The information we collect depends on how you use our website and which services you choose to use.
When you contact or enquire with us
- Your name and contact details.
- Details of the nursery or location you are interested in.
- Information you choose to include in an enquiry.
- Information needed to respond to your childcare enquiry or arrange a visit.
When you apply for a job

- Information collected through cookies or similar technologies where applicable.
Why do we use personal information?
We may use personal information to:
- Respond to nursery and childcare enquiries.
- Help you identify an appropriate Tiny Toez nursery.
- Arrange or follow up nursery visits and enquiries.
- Process applications for current vacancies.
- Keep details submitted to our careers talent pool where you have asked us to consider you for future opportunities.
- Operate, maintain and improve our website.
- Protect our website, systems, staff, children and families from misuse or security risks.
- Meet legal, safeguarding and regulatory obligations.
The legal reasons for processing information.
UK data protection law requires us to have a lawful basis when we process personal information. Depending on the circumstances, these may include:
| Legal basis | When it may apply |
|---|---|
| Contract | Where information is needed to take steps requested by you before entering into an agreement, or to perform an agreement. |
| Legitimate interests | Where processing is reasonably necessary to operate our organisation, respond to enquiries, recruit staff or protect our services, provided your rights do not override those interests. |
| Legal obligation | Where we are required to process information to meet legal, regulatory or safeguarding requirements. |
| Consent | Where we specifically ask for your permission and consent is the appropriate legal basis. You may withdraw consent where applicable. |
Enquiring about a Tiny Toez nursery.
Our website may direct you to an enquiry service used by Tiny Toez to collect information about your childcare needs and the nursery you are interested in.
Where an enquiry opens on a third-party platform, that provider may process personal information on our behalf or under its own privacy terms, depending on the service involved.
Tiny Toez currently uses Famly for nursery enquiry forms linked from participating nursery pages. When you continue to a Famly enquiry form you are using Famly's platform to submit that enquiry.
Applying to work with Tiny Toez.
Job applications and talent-pool registrations made through this website are currently collected using forms hosted within our WordPress website.
Recruitment information may be made available to relevant Tiny Toez managers or authorised staff involved in the recruitment process.
If your application progresses, additional information may be requested as part of safer recruitment, employment and safeguarding checks.
Documents submitted through our careers forms are stored with the relevant application entry and are accessible only to authorised users through the website's recruitment administration process.
Website technology and analytics.
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the website to work, remember preferences, provide embedded functionality or help us understand how the site is used.
Where consent is required for non-essential cookies, they should only be used after the appropriate consent has been given.
Third-party content
Some pages may contain services or content supplied by third parties, such as maps, social media feeds, video, enquiry platforms or other website tools. Those services may set their own cookies or process technical information when they are loaded.
Confirm the site's current analytics and cookie consent tools, then list any non-essential services actually in use here. Do not list services that are no longer active.
Who may receive personal information?
We do not sell personal information.
We may share information where necessary with:
- Tiny Toez staff and nursery managers who need the information to respond to an enquiry or application.
- Website, hosting, form, email and technology providers acting on our behalf.
- Nursery enquiry or childcare-management platforms used by Tiny Toez.
- Professional advisers, insurers or service providers where reasonably necessary.
- Regulators, public authorities, law enforcement bodies or safeguarding organisations where we are legally required or permitted to do so.
Where suppliers process information on our behalf, we expect appropriate contractual and security safeguards to be in place.
Processing outside the UK.
Some technology providers may process or store information outside the United Kingdom.
Where UK data protection law requires additional safeguards for an international transfer, we will take appropriate steps to ensure those safeguards are used.
How long do we keep personal information?
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including legal, regulatory, safeguarding, accounting or reporting requirements.
Different categories of information may therefore be kept for different periods.
Before publishing a fixed recruitment retention period here, confirm Tiny Toez's actual recruitment retention policy. Talent-pool information should also have a defined review or deletion period.
How we protect information.
We take reasonable organisational and technical measures designed to protect personal information from accidental loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.
Access to personal information should be limited to people who need it for legitimate business, recruitment, safeguarding or childcare purposes.
Your data protection rights.
Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights in relation to your personal information, including the right to:
- Ask for access to your personal information.
- Ask us to correct inaccurate information.
- Ask us to erase information in certain circumstances.
- Ask us to restrict processing in certain circumstances.
- Object to certain types of processing.
- Receive certain information in a portable format where the law provides this right.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
These rights are not absolute and may not apply in every situation. We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request.
If you are unhappy with how we use your information.
We would encourage you to contact Tiny Toez first so we have an opportunity to address your concern.
You also have the right to raise a complaint with the UK's data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
Visit the Information Commissioner's Office for current guidance and contact information.

We may update this privacy policy when our website, services, technology providers or legal obligations change.
