Crown House Day Nursery has become the first nursery school in Evesham to have a new hi-tech security system installed using fingerprint identification for access.

Nursery owner Louise Lees said: “We feel that in recent times the security of your child whilst at nursery has become increasingly significant, and we have acknowledged this by incorporating the use of the biometric technology to enhance our already sound child protection policies.

“Feedback from the parents has been overwhelmingly positive, and they really value the added peace of mind.”

The equipment has been provided by Easy Dentic, an international company renowned for being leaders in the field of biometrics.
