Our staff

The nursery is headed by Rosina Reynolds.

Rosina is a founding member of staff and has been a rock to the many families who have passed through the nursery. She is also a highly experienced team leader and is adept at recognising talents and strengths in her staff. This has resulted in almost no turnover of staff which to you means consistent care for your little ones.

We have a team of 21 experienced staff dedicated to creating a loving home from home atmosphere. We place a great deal of emphasis on staff qualifications and skills and we support all our staff through on the job training. 20 of our staff are qualified to at least Level 3 including all the room leaders.

We believe that well trained staff are happy and motivated and this is reflected in the quality of care we provide. All our staff are qualified first aiders, all have Level 2 food safety in catering and fully trained in Safeguarding and Protecting Children.
