The Requirement
Children’s House Nursery School is a state maintained school at the heart of the local community in Bromley-by-Bow, Tower Hamlets. The school is housed in a listed building and are proud of our heritage; the school has been serving local children for almost a hundred years.
The School required a new server or serverless solution when the current school server hardware failed. Which meant all staff and students could not access their local resources or internet services. The new solution needs to ensure business continuity whilst also being cost effective for a small Nursery school.
The Solution
Levett Consultancy technical support services put in place a temporary solution to enable the school function, whilst the Project Delivery team undertook planning and deployment of Google Workspace for Education Plus solution. The Project Team certified Google Engineers, configured Google Workspace, then migrated all data from the server into Google Shared Drives. Then deployed Google Credential Provider for Windows (GCPW) to all Google Workspace to manage the school Windows devices and allow users to sign in to Windows devices with their School Google Account.
The Outcome
Children House Nursery School is now completely serverless, saving on energy and reducing the school running costs. Staff can now access their data and resources securely from their school Windows devices or other assigned devices using a single common identity. Furthermore staff are now also able to work from home or any other location in confidence knowing their data is safely stored within Google Cloud robust infrastructure.
When our server crashed, we had no way of knowing what would happen. Levett Consultancy support service took control and had us up and running on Google Workspace in three hours—which was incredible. Now that we've been using the Google platform for a while, we realise how much easier it is for our staff. Congratulations and thank you to the team at Levett Consultancy.Becky Dolamore (Executive Head Teacher) Children House Nursery School
