We work on the basic premise that a nursery is as good as its staff and we take great pride in our commitment to our staff and in the commitment they show to your child in turn. We recognise the apparent link between well-qualified, motivated, enthusiastic staff and high quality care and education for your child. When choosing staff for our nursery, we look not just for the right qualifications and experience, but also for that extra passion for working with children.
We invest in our staff and we encourage career development through courses and training and also our personal investment of time to enable their growth.

Staff Benefits
- Flexible working
- Family Friendly
- Recommend a friend scheme
- Discounted Childcare
- 90% of our staff hold a minimum level 3 qualification and encourage a commitment to attend training from those below that level.
We believe in giving back and have a volunteering policy with paid time off which enables staff to work within the community or in a voluntary capacity.
There are legal requirements relating to staff qualifications in a day nursery: 50% of the staff must hold a recognised childcare qualification equivalent to basic NVQ Level 2. Also, there must be staff trained in Paediatric first aid on site at all times. At our nursery, we aim far beyond that basic requirement to ensure that.
Also, at a minimum, 50% of staff hold paediatric first aid qualifications, all staff also receive training in basic food hygiene, manual handling and health and safety.
All our nursery staff possess a secure working knowledge in areas such as Special Educational needs (SEN) and safeguarding children. Also they attend varied training sessions throughout the years designed to improve and extend their practice in working with children.
