The Team

Our staff are recruited for their enthusiasm and dedication to the care and development of children.  They are continuously trained and are keen to develop their skills.  As part of our aim to be a ‘home from home’ for your child, we have a positive approach to touch within the nursery.  The children develop close relationships with the adults who care for them and they receive the care and attention that every child deserves, from chasing games and tickles to cuddles and kisses.  It is through these positive experiences of touch with trusted and loving adults that children develop a healthy sense of self and an understanding of the nature of positive relationships with adults.  Staff use language that is based on respect, both for children and adults as individuals and as part of a group.  Staff are actively discouraged from using negative words and instead use language that encourages positive behaviour and portrays a positive self-image to the child. 

In a nursery of our size, we expect that your child will know and be fond of all members of staff, however we also use a Key Person Approach. This means that you will meet with one specific member of staff initially to complete a ‘care plan’ for your child (which outlines your child’s specific needs and requirements whilst at nursery, allowing us to get to know them quickly and accurately.)  This member of staff will have the responsibility of keeping up to date with you and your child’s specific needs.  They are also responsible for the upkeep of your child’s development record – ‘The Learning Story’.
