Our Staff - Alpha Kindergarten | Qualified & Caring Team
We know how important it is that you have confidence in the people looking after your child, so we’re proud to have an experienced and skilled team.
Each day, you will drop your child off knowing that they are being cared for by nursery nurses who are dedicated to giving your child the best start to life. Our team will build a strong relationship with you so that we can work together to help your child grow in the best way for them.

All our staff undergo constant training so that they can enhance their skills and they will also hold additional qualifications in areas like child behaviour and emotional development.

Experience you can rely on
We are proud that we have a longstanding staff team, many of whom have been with the nursery for over a decade.
Continuity is vital for children as they grow and these familiar figures provide the stability that your child needs as they develop as well as friendly faces for parents.
Exceptional management
The nursery's management team have been praised by Ofsted, who have highlighted the efforts made to build relationships with parents to ensure that each child is receiving the best possible care. The management team is also supported by a graduate early years professional, who provides specialist support to continually improve the care we provide.
Keeping your child safe
The safety of your child is our top priority, so we require all our staff to take training in safeguarding, food hygiene and paediatric first aid. These are reinforced with regular top up training so that you have peace of mind when dropping off your child.
Partnership with Parents
For over 20 years, parents have been choosing us because of the strong partnership with build with them.
To give your child the best possible start in life, we recognise the importance of working closely with you to ensure that we create continuity between nursery and home life. Not only will this be beneficial for your child, it will also give you peace of mind each day.
We place a high value on making time for you to be able to talk to staff, to discuss the development of your child while helping us to understand their individual traits and needs. We strongly encourage all parents to form a strong relationship with their child's key person, so that together we can help them grow seamlessly both at home and at nursery.
In addition to daily opportunities to talk with staff, there are various events throughout the year – such as parents' evenings and social events for the whole family. We welcome all parental involvement, including suggestions about how we can improve the care we provide.
We want to build an open relationship with you where information about your child flows in both directions. Knowing what your child is doing at home will help us to plan activities better suited to their needs and help them to develop their skills.
Our team are always happy to discuss any issues that you might be having with your child at home and can provide tips or advice on activities that you can do away from nursery.
Each child is allocated a key person, who will be your principal contact within the nursery. They will monitor and progress your child’s development and ensure that activities within the nursery are designed to help them grow.
Each key person will have a buddy – another member of staff within the room who is able to take over the care, learning and development of your child if the key person is not in that day.
Alongside speaking to you at drop-off time, we use the Famly online app to share information with you about your child. You will have your own secure login and can access it through the Famly website or on your phone.
You will receive real time information about what your child is doing, such as whether they have slept during the day. Photos are also uploaded so that you can see your child taking part in exciting activities. The secure service is password protected and parents have control over who can access the information.
