Our staff

The nursery supports staff continued professional development and encourages practitioners to embark on a range of different courses to aid their own development. The nursery currently employs staff who hold a minimum of a Level 2 qualification in childcare, however also  supports trainees and apprentices through their learning programme. Many of these learners finish their qualification and begin permanent employment at the nursery. We work alongside training providers to ensure learners are supported appropriately.
