This Privacy Policy explains how The Charter Schools Educational Trust collects and uses personal data through www.charternurseries.org (the "Site") itself, for example when you browse the Site, use the fee calculator, or send us an enquiry.
This policy covers the website only. It does not cover how we collect or use personal data about children and families through nursery registration, admissions, or day-to-day nursery operation. That is covered by our separate Privacy Notice, available on our Policies page, which applies across the Charter Schools Educational Trust.
The Charter Schools Educational Trust ("we," "us," "our") is the data controller for personal data collected through this Site.

a) Information you give us
When you use the contact form on the Site, we collect the information you enter, which may include your name, email address, phone number, the nursery or topic your enquiry relates to, and the content of your message. We use this to respond to your enquiry.
Legal basis: consent (you choose to submit the form) and our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries about our nurseries.
b) Information collected automatically
When you browse the Site, we and our service providers automatically collect some technical information via cookies, including:
See our Cookie Policy for the full list of cookies, what each one does, and how to control them.
Legal basis: consent, given (or withheld) via the cookie banner shown when you first visit the Site.
c) The fee calculator
The nursery fee calculator on individual nursery pages is a guide-only estimation tool. Depending on how it's built, the choices you make in the calculator (days needed, funded hours, etc.) may be processed only in your browser and not sent to us, or may be transmitted to help us respond to related enquiries.
We don't sell personal data. We share it with:
Some of our service providers (including Google) may process data outside the UK, including in the United States. Where this happens, we rely on the provider's compliance with UK-recognised transfer safeguards, such as the UK's International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or the UK-US Data Bridge where applicable.
_ga/_ga_* cookies. Aggregated analytics reports may be kept longer, but do not identify you individually.
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@tcset.org.uk. If you're not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
This Site is intended for use by parents, carers and prospective families, not by young children directly. We don't knowingly collect personal data from children through the Site itself. If you believe a child has submitted personal data to us through the contact form, please contact us and we'll delete it.
Nursery-specific information about individual children is collected separately, outside this Site, as part of registration and enrolment, and is covered by our Trust-wide Privacy Notice rather than this policy.
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data submitted through the Site, including working with providers (Cloudflare, Webflow, Google) who maintain their own security standards. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.
We may update this policy from time to time, for example if we add a new tool or service to the Site. We'll update the "Last updated" date at the top when we do. Please check back periodically.
Questions about this policy or how we handle your data through the Site: info@tcset.org.uk or 020 7346 6600.
For questions about pupil or family data handled outside the Site, see our Trust-wide Privacy Notice on the Policies page.
