Meet Our Friendly Professional Team
Quarry Brow are proud to employ two staff who have gained the Early Years Professional degree and others who have level three qualifications and experience in other settings. Our staff also have training in; First Aid, Food Hygiene, Child Protection, Speech and Language and many other basic training relevant for the work they do in nursery. We are committed to keeping ourselves as up-to-date as possible with childcare legislation and attend different courses throughout the year.
Being professional childcare workers we understand the need to gain experience from nursery settings, therefore we offer training placements to students who are training in childcare on a modern apprenticeship scheme. All students have a full induction and relevant checks to the same standards as key workers.
We also offer placements to students from the local college and local schools for work experience.
