Suzanne, who is the nursery manager, holds a BA Hons Degree in Early Childhood Studies with Early Years Professional Status and is qualified to level 6. This means that as an Apprentice, you will receive support to very high standards in your training and development. Suzanne has been with us since opening as she part-owns the nursery with her parents. Our newest practitioners have now been with us for 2 years. We have a very low staff turnover, which we are proud of, and we welcome everyone into our setting, making them feel part of the team. We have a large outdoor area, and we are passionate about the outdoors, so the ideal candidate should not be weather-shy.
