Who will care for my child?...
...Our friendly, trained staff

Our staff's priority is to ensure your child feels loved, secure and at home. Also that you feel this too. When your child first starts nursery we will wncourage you to visit the nursery with your child for short periods of time until you both feel comfortable with the new setting.

A member of staff will be assigned to your child. Daily reports of your childcare will be available and our staff will discuss any needs with you as required.

Under no circumstances will a child be subject to any form of physical punishment. With the guidance of our behaviour specialist, clear guidelines of acceptable and unacceptable behaviour will be given to all children by the relevant member of staff. This will be in accordance to our policies and procedures.

The administration and running of the nursery is by the Owner, manager and the nursery team. Our staff are all qualified and trained in child-care. As an extra security measure for your child's safety - police clearance on all members of staff will be guaranteed.

In our nursery kitchen, our cook prepares a variety of freshly made and nutritious meals. We will cater for and special dietary needs. We pride ourselves in our excellent menus designed for growing children. We will serve breakfast, lunch and tea. Menus are posted so aprents can see what their child has had on a daily basis.
