How We Began

MEET THE STAFF

Claire - Nursery Manager

ClaireI have worked with the Edinburgh Nursery for 17 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 East London 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


Laura - Senior Nursery Nurse

LauraI have been with the Nursery since the start of 2004 and have worked in all of the Nursery units. I love working with the youngest of our children and getting to know them, their carers and extended families. We use the birth to three document extensively within the Creche to ensure that the children become secure in their surroundings and develop bonds and relationships with the staff and other children.


Claire D - Nursery Nurse

Claire DI joined the Nursery Oct 2005 and have completed both my level 2 and level 3 qualifications in early years education and childcare. I enjoy working with the older children at the Nursery and introducing them to many exciting and new activities. I love phyical and outdoor activities and enjoy delivering varied and different days for the children to enjoy, be challenged by and to stimulate their natural inquisitiveness.


Rachel - Trainee Nursery Nurse
