Staff at Lowdham
Our fully qualified staff are dedicated to providing a happy and safe environment for all the children. All our staff are carefully chosen not only for their experience and qualifications but also for their ability to work as a team and to show commitment and empathy to children in their care.
Many have been with us for several years and so not only offer continuity for your child, but are also more mature and have extensive childcare experience as well. In each room the required amount of qualified nursery nurses are supplemented by trainee nursery nurses. All staff to child ratios are always met and often exceeded.
Staff, where possible remain constant, operating a 'Key Worker' system. This is when each child is allocated to a member of staff to provide a link between the parents and child. They will be largely responsible for settling them into nursery, their day to day care and communicating with the parents about their child's development. This enables the member of staff to develop close relationships with children in their care.
Paula Baxter, Nursery Manager
From becoming a child minder to meet my own childcare needs 12
years ago, I decided to have a change of career and became a
volunteer at a local playgroup as I found it very rewarding. Then I started my NVQ
qualifications and my childcare career just
snowballed. I am currently studying for my Level 4 in Leadership and
Management.
I have worked in a Children's centre as well as in private
daycare and have found all my experiences rewarding and challenging.
I joined Alphabet House in 2008 and get an enormous sense of
achievement from seeing children flourish through their time with
us. Getting to know the families and being part of their children's
development really is what I love.
