 
Qualifications and standards are a priority at our Nursery and you can read in detail about the qualifications our staff have in the Parent Information area of our web site All staff have been trained in First Aid and are checked by the Criminal Records Bureau as part of our recruitment process Our Nursery is regulated by the requirements of the National Standards for Daycare, which state there must be a minimum ratio of adults carers to each group of children. - With children of age 6 months -2 years there must be 1 adult to 3 children
- 2-3 years, 1 adult to 4 children
- 3-5 years, 1 adult to 8 children
In practise we often have higher numbers of adults to children than this statutory minimum If you would like to send an e-mail to Sam the Manager please click on the link shown below her team entry
