The staff are one of the most important assets of a nursery as they play such a key role in the children’s lives. We are very proud to say that some members of staff have worked at ladybird for many years. The overall manager has been with ladybird since 1993. The Montessori manager has been with ladybird since 2003. Other members of the ladybird team have been with us for many years.

Our nursery is run by qualified and experienced staff. We operate a key worker system, which gives each member of staff responsibility for just a few children. Each child in the group has one special adult to relate to, which makes settling into the group much easier. In addition the key worker is in a position to monitor the progress and tailor the curriculum needs of each child. The key worker maintains links with the child’s home setting, working with parents through shared record keeping to ensure that all children are supported in reaching their full potential. Also, all of our staff have continuous in-service training to further their knowledge of early childhood development.

Cover staff - when the permanent staff are away we use our own bank of cover staff (many of whom are previous Ladybird employee’s).

All of our staff are CRB checked (including cover staff).
