Nursery staff

Our dedicated team works closely together to provide the highest standard of childcare across both settings, within a safe and nurturing environment. All staff are professionally trained and DBS checked, and we are proud to employ a team of 24 qualified childcare practitioners across both settings. Many of our team members have been with us for several years, allowing us to offer children consistency, stability, and continuity of care throughout their time at the nursery. In our most recent Ofsted report, inspectors noted that our staff “skilfully interact with children and deliver well-planned activities that support their needs.”

When a child joins the nursery, they are assigned a dedicated Key Person who takes responsibility for their care, learning, and development. Your child’s Key Person will build a strong, supportive relationship with them and ensure their individual needs are met. Before your child starts, the Key Person will contact you to introduce themselves, arrange an initial meeting to share important information, and plan settling-in sessions to help your child feel comfortable and confident from the very beginning.
