Our team

Dedication. Expertise. Passion

Our team of dedicated nursery nurses and carers will look after your child. Our team includes seven N.V.Q. 3 or equivalent qualified nursery nurses, four N.V.Q. 2 nursery assistants, two nursery assistants (1 training towards NVQ 3 and 1 training towards NVQ2 childcare) and a dedicated cook/ lunchtime assistant.

We are eager to maintain a family and homely atmosphere: Daisy Chain Nursery's Manager and co-owner is Mrs. Claire Heslop. The other co-owners are all family members. Claire Heslop was formally trained at the prestigious Princess Christian College for Nannies in Manchester.

In addition to her childcare qualifications, including N.N.E.B. Diploma in Nursery Nursing, Child Psychology qualifications, a degree in Early Childhood Studies. Claire has extensive practical experience of looking after children. This includes starting out as a private nanny in Kensington London, and over thirty years experience as the manager of private day-care nurseries.

In order for our team to be up-to-date on developments in childcare, we are committed to ensuring that our people attend regular training courses on child care and development, nursery management, health and safety related issues, and other areas.
