The staff of any Day Nursery are really where quality care begins
Whenever we recruit new members of our team, we are looking first and foremost for a genuine love of working with young children. Everyone here is supported, valued and encouraged to become part of the nursery’s constant endeavour for improvement.
All Staff must pass an enhanced DBS check and be committed to continuing their training and professional development. As well as completing individual training courses throughout the year, we have two annual inset days, in order to complete training on child development as a staff unit. We have evening staff meetings every six weeks.
Over 80% of our staff are qualified in level 3 Childcare or higher.
We have a very low staff turnover. Staff stay at wonder Years.
Many of our team are also parents themselves.
Our staff to child ratios are in excess of Ofsted requirements.
Our Staff are recruited and managed by myself (Chris) and Katherine our Nursery Manager. Kath has been with us since 2001 and has a foundation degree in childcare. Our Deputy Manager Charlie, is an Early Years Professional who began working with us in 2004. We all work very closely together to ensure that the nursery is continually evolving whilst maintaining the highest standards in every possible way.
The result is a large team that truly work together to create a very personal and caring nursery environment.
