The Nursery  St. Peter's  Team  

  

The Nursery is a family run business and was set up by Irene Beaumont in 2002.  Our staff team are our biggest asset and many have been with us since we opened. They are NNEB/NVQ qualified or above and all are engaged in continual training and professional development. Staff are carefully selected and each individual is chosen for the qualities and experience they can bring into the nursery environment. We employ a large staff team to ensure the quality and continuity of care for all children and we do not employ agency staff.
