The very best practitioners
It is very important to us that we employ the best practitioners to care for your children and therefore we follow what we believe to be a very high standard of set procedures when recruiting and employing people. We also have a high standard induction procedure for any new employee working in any area of the nursery.
We have our own team of casual call in staff who provide cover for when full time staff attend training, or go on leave, providing consistent care for the children.
All staff have an enhanced DBS check before they start their employment.
