St. Marks Pre-School: safeguarding context
The safeguarding context around St. Marks Pre-School: what the public record says about the streets, roads and places around the nursery and on the way families arrive, what the authority's own figures say, and what that means for the safeguarding policy and the risk assessment. This page describes the surroundings. It never rates the setting, its staff or its children.

What children's services record across Wiltshire
Across Wiltshire, children's social care recorded a parent or carer's mental health; domestic abuse, a parent or carer as victim; drug misuse by a parent or carer; alcohol misuse by a parent or carer; and a parent or carer's learning disability in a higher share of assessments than across England.
This describes what social workers record for the whole authority, never this setting or its children, and a higher share can reflect better identification as easily as more harm. The report sets out every factor beside the national figure and what it means for the policy and staff training.
The area around St. Marks Pre-School
What the published data says about the places outings reach and families arrive by, the neighbourhood around the nursery, and the roads alongside. These figures describe the surroundings; none of them is a measure of the setting.
13 parks, play spaces and playing fields lie within a kilometre of the nursery. No station or bus interchange lies within a kilometre. 17 bus stops lie within 500 metres. These are the places outings reach and the stops families arrive by; the report names them for the risk assessment.
The small area the nursery stands in is in decile 10 of the English Indices of Deprivation, among the least deprived fifth of small areas in England. On income deprivation affecting children it is in decile 10. The figure describes the neighbourhood, never a family or a child.
The police recorded fewer than 3 injury collisions within 500 metres of the nursery between 2021 and 2025. That is a low count for five years of roads; the record has not caught a pattern, and the nursery's own observation of the door at drop-off and collection is the better evidence.
The report turns each of these into the paragraph the safeguarding policy needs, names the roads that carry the collisions and the places the risk assessment should cover, adds the recorded picture from UK Crime Statistics and prints the limits of every figure.
Distances are measured from the mapped point of the site at the setting's postcode.

What the report for St. Marks Pre-School contains
An annual report, written for the manager and the practitioner who takes lead responsibility for safeguarding in a registered early years setting, that reads the public record for the area around the nursery and says what it means in the language of the early years foundation stage framework and Ofsted's early years inspection toolkit. Each chapter ends with what it means for the safeguarding policy and the risk assessment; the report closes with the paragraphs for the policy, the self-evaluation and the owner or committee, and the inspector's questions answered.
- What children's services record. Children in need and protection plans across the authority, and the factors social workers record inside the home: a parent's mental health, domestic abuse, substance misuse and neglect, beside England.
- Young children's health, and early education and disadvantage. The local area data Ofsted reviews before an inspection, for the authority the nursery sits in.
- The recorded picture around the setting. Police-recorded incidents at map points nearby, from UK Crime Statistics, described as the streets families cross rather than as a score.
- Places and outings. Parks, play spaces and stops nearby, drawn from the data for the risk assessment.
- Local safeguarding arrangements. The partnership, the report-a-concern page, and the designated officer's route for allegations against staff.
- Also around the setting: roads. Collisions in drop-off and collection hours, printed with their limits.
One order buys the report, the staff briefing and slides, the evidence pack and the dashboard for the year for St. Marks Pre-School.
