Our Team

Daisy Day Nursery has a superb, dedicated and carefully selected team of managers and staff who are committed to providing a safe and comfortable environment where ‘learning through play’ ensures your child’s days in nursery are happy and fun.

Our team comprises of experienced NNEB/CACHE/BTEC/NVQ qualified nursery nurses and many are mums themselves.

As well as professional childcare qualifications, the team at Daisy Day Nursery are committed to ongoing training to develop and enhance their skills and to keep up to date with the latest childcare developments. We are currently working towards the prestigious ‘Investors in People’ award.

We also have qualified First Aiders on site at all times and most of our team hold an up to date Food Hygiene Certificate and are also Health & Safety trained.

We carry out a full Criminal Record Bureau check on all our team before they join us and also during the term of their employment.

You will be introduced to the team when you join us. However, for your added convenience, photographs of every team member are on the parents’ notice board and they also wear name badges so you can identify them until you get to know them.
