Our Team

Our Early Years Director, Victoria, has more than 15 years’ experience in the sector and leads a dynamic, knowledgeable and passionate team of Managers and Educators who go above and beyond to make sure your child gets the very best opportunities to thrive throughout their time at nursery.

We support a highly qualified and capable team, meaning there are more hands available to support you and your child.

Our philosophy of providing Great Jobs for Great People enables our team to build long term and successful careers in a nurturing and supportive environment.

Our Values & Beliefs

Every child deserves a champion, an adult that will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists they become the best they can possibly be.

Children first

We put the needs of your child first by providing an environment that is healthy, happy and safe. We believe everyone is different and it is these differences that make life rich and colourful. Kindness, love, respect, sharing and being a good team player are values we nurture.

Adventure

Nursery life should be full of joy, discovery, and adventure! We believe every child is born with unique talents and skills and everyone develops in their own way and at their own speed. We help children discover their talents through stimulating activities where they can explore and learn in a safe, nurturing, and loving environment.

Independence

Learning to be independent is a big step we help children make. From discovering their first steps to getting ready for school through our dedicated big school programme, we help children become confident and capable grown-ups.

Continual improvement

We believe in a philosophy of continual and never-ending improvement. By listening, reflecting and working together as a team, dreams can become reality.

Going the extra-mile

Teamwork makes the dream work! We believe the difference between ordinary and extraordinary is just that little word – ‘extra’. By going the extra-mile for children, parents, and each other, we can create a better world and achieve so much more.
