We are a warm, welcoming and inclusive nursery with a focus on individuality, a place that feels happy, informal and homely. This is somewhere that you and your child will be known well. This is in keeping with our ethos as higher wages across the board supports staff well-being and aids staff retention.
Our staff levels exceed the Ofsted minimum levels by at least one extra staff member in each room. We have a Manager, Billie, and two Deputy managers, Catherine and Jo and our pre-school room is led by Katie, an Early Years Professional (EYP). All staff receive continuous professional development (CPD) training throughout their time at Minihome.
