Our staff
Staff qualifications range from those who are employed as Nursery Apprentices working towards their NVQ Level 2, Nursery Assistants working towards their NVQ Level 3 and management staff who have achieved their NVQ Level 4 or 5 in Childcare Management.
All staff are recruited and employed by Kiddies’ Cabin using an extensive vetting procedure which ensures that they are both suitable to work with children and have the necessary skills and personality so that the nursery meets the requirements of each child in our care.
Regular staff training is undertaken on paediatric first aid, food hygiene, safeguarding / child protection and fire safety training. These are updated on an annual or three yearly basis depending on the statutory requirements. Prior to commencing their employment with us, all staff attend a three day staff induction course held by the Trust. Staff receive regular developmental guidance to ensure that they continue to develop professionally and personally.
All staff attend Basic Life Support training with the Trusts Community Resuscitation Facilitator every year.

Testimonials
Y is starting primary school. It has been good for him following the school/ nursery routine from an early age.
I have enjoyed working together with nursery staff toward Y's development and skills.
All staff were brilliant during Y’s potty training. Whenever Y had an accident in the room or on the carpet they were never disappointed having to clean the room or carpet deeply.
Kiddies' Cabin have looked after children's nutritional needs well and looking after them well in general.
A safe place for children and handy for working parents.
