Child Day Care Facility in UK Uses Fingerprint Scans at Entrance

A nursery has installed fingerprint scanning at its entrance to increase the safety of its young pupils. The nursery has been running for five-and-a-half years and has 100 children on its books, aged from four months to four-and-a-half years old. It believes it could be the first nursery in Wales to adopt such a system for staff and parents.
