Staff

Our staff work closely with your children to make sure they remain happy and safe at all times

Continuity is very important to us and we think it essential for your child to have the same team looking after them at all times, so they can recognise their carers to establish deeper bonds and attachments. Each of our age groups has a separate senior member of staff working with other staff in the room to ensure the highest quality of care at all times. This staff member will also oversee any activities or developmental record keeping and running of the nursery.
