Meet the nursery team

We have an experienced and fully qualified team of core members and a team of casual bank staff.

Our management team is responsible for supporting the operational running of the nursery and responsible for supporting the effective delivery of the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage), the standard set for education, teaching, learning and care of 0 to 5-year-olds.

Within each room, we have a Nursery Room Leader, Senior Early Years Practitioners, and Early Years Practitioners.

Our casual bank staff provide consistent cover for any core staff who are on annual leave or absent.
