The Nursery is owned and managed by Sara McLellan, a Registered General Nurse and Registered Midwife.  She is also a parent of a young child, and understands the needs of parents and children.  Sara is supernumerary in the nursery, therefore available to talk to parents and to ensure that the nursery is well organised, happy and relaxed.

 

A Deputy Manager and two Deputies assist Sara, along with three Senior Nursery Nurses and eight Nursery Nurses.  In the case of staff sickness or absence, the children can be cared for by the surplus staff, which the children already know. 

 

A qualified member of staff runs each room in the nursery.  All staff have gained the Paediatric First Aid certificate, Child Protection and various other qualifications to enhance their knowledge.   

 

We occasionally have students from local colleges attending the nursery for their placements.  These students are studying for a qualification in childcare and are observed throughout their placement.

 

We have an experienced chef who plans delicious, nutritionally balanced meals for the children.  Special diets are also catered for.  A weekly menu is displayed on the Parent’s Notice Board.
