Our Nusery Staff

All our staff are highly qualified and experienced and use a range of child development theories to assist them in helping your child develop and achieve their star potential.

Our staff will get to know your child so well that they will know what your child's next steps in their development are, and plan a range of activities accordingly to help them achieve this.

Absolutely!

Children of any age, who require sleep after lunchtime, go into the quieter baby room where the curtains are drawn, fairy lights glow, and lullabies play.  We have a choice of cots or sleeping mats, and we provide each child with a bag of individual bedding clearly labeled with their name to avoid cross-infection.

Fees are paid a month in advance, so you will be issued an invoice at the end of the month to pay for the month ahead.
