Crocus Early Years Centre

Our nursery setting is open Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 18:00, for children aged 3 months to 5 years.
We offer a warm, welcoming environment supporting the transition from home to nursery, and we provide excellent nutritionally-balanced menus using fresh ingredients prepared by our own chef. Our rural location with on-site farm means children have plenty of space to explore.
Our highly qualified team helped us to secure a Good rating from Ofsted in our latest inspection.
Where possible we look to offer flexible booking patterns and a range of funding options, including the government's 30 hours funded childcare* provision.

I have been employed at Crocus Early Years Centre since December 2001. I originally started as third in charge/room manager in preschool and after a period of acting manager early in 2008 was promoted to centre manager in August 2008. I have worked in childcare for over 25 years since having my own children in preschools and at a crche. I completed my Foundation Degree in Early Years in January 2013.
