Staff at West Bridgford
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.
Lisa Palin - Nursery Manager
I left college in 2002 after completing my diploma in childcare to start part time in a council run nursery. Two years later I went to work for a private day nursery where I stayed for 3 years. In 2007 I moved to Nottingham and joined Alphabet House as room leader and a year later became Deputy Manager.
I enjoyed the position so much that when the position of manager became available, I jumped at the chance and became manager in June 2010. I am now studying for my Level 4 in Leadership and Management and have also taken part in a wide range of courses including First Aid, Safeguarding Children, Food Hygiene, Behaviour Management.
