How We Began

MEET THE STAFF

CLAIRE NURSERY - MANAGER
I have worked with the Edinburgh Nursery for 15 years and am qualified to Level 4 in Childcare and Education. I am a specialist in Baby sign language and use this within the Nursery on a daily basis. I am very proud to be one of the small number of Nursery Nurses in Scotland to achieve this qualification. I also hold an HNC in Childcare and Education, a Child Carers First Aid Certificate, and have attended courses in the Role of the Team Leader as part of my management responsibilities. I find every day a new opportunity to learn from the children and especially love working with the babies. I have worked with all age ranges within the nurseries and have been with the babies since 1996. I also manage the Crèche at Broughton Street where we work on the same principles and with the same ethos that Small is Beautiful. This leads to the Nursery providing intimate and personal care to the little people in your life.

SARAH - NURSERY NURSE
I have worked at the crèche since 2004. I am SVQ Level II Childcare and Education qualified and am actively studying towards my Level 3 qualification. Each day is a new start and never quite ends up being what was planned, but this is the beauty of working with young children and being able to adapt to their moods and enthusiasm.

BONNIE - TRAINEE NURSERY NURSE
I have worked with the nursery since 2005 and am currently studying with Borders College towards achieving my first qualification in childcare. This position allows me to study and learn from the children and the staff at the Nursery and is more fulfilling that just being at college. I love being able to bond with the children and recording their milestones and achievements along the way.
