Staff
Discovery operates a ‘Key Person’ system. This means your child will have a member of staff who has responsibility for developing a trusting and caring relationship with you and your child. We will not allocate a key person but will instead give that responsibility to the person whom your child forms that deep connection.
It is important that children feel they ‘belong’ and their key person will ensure new children are settled into the group as quickly and easily as possible and are enjoying their nursery experience.
As at the last update 100% of our practitioners are first aid trained
Profiles
Hello, I am the Owner and Manager, of Discovery Nursery and Preschool. I trained as a Solicitor and spent over 4 years as a Corporate lawyer in a magic circle law firm. After having two beautiful children, I decided to change direction and pursue my other passions: the learning and development of children in their Early Years. And from there Discovery was born. Whilst my children have now grown and moved on to ‘Big School’, Discovery continues to be everything I wanted for my own children: A true home from home setting where children are happy, secure, cuddled and loved. Discovery provides all of this within a stimulating environment with high quality teaching. I am supported by a great and highly skilled team and I am a qualified teacher having gained Early Years Teacher Status.
I really do look forward to welcoming you and your family to Discovery Nursery and Preschool.
