Our Staff |
|
Our staff are our most valuable resource and as such are chosen very carefully. They all have a genuine love of children and are highly committed to the care, welfare and education of the children. In order to maintain our high standards, staff are supported in their professional development, which is reflected in their levels of qualification. Many of our staff hold a degree in childcare and both the owner and another member of staff hold Early Years Professional Status. |
|
We now have two nurseries, one in New Mills and one in Furness Vale. The two sites complement each other and although they have very different layouts our ethos remains the same. |
