Our Team in Chieveley
What sets us apart from other Day Nurseries and Pre-Schools is that our staff are all long serving and we do not use any temporary staff. Our manager has been with us for 23 years and around 70% of the team are mums or grandmas themselves, bringing real life childcare experiences with them.
