Chain goes for parent webcams

One of the UK's largest nursery groups is to install webcams in all its nurseries. The Manor Tree Group, part of CfBT, is the first of the top 20 chains to sign up to a scheme whereby parents are able to log on to see their child's day at nursery.

The Manor Tree Group, part of CfBT, is the first of the top 20 chains to sign up to a scheme whereby parents are able to log on to see their child's day at nursery.

Director Sally Eaton said that the decision to install webcams was a response to parents' needs.

Cherry Trees in Slough, Berkshire, is the first of the Manor Tree's nurseries to install the equipment, in a deal with NurseryCam.
