At Little Fishes Soft-PlaySkool, our team of dedicated and qualified team have been hand-picked to ensure that not only do they hold the right skills and experience to support your child but also that they are loving and genuinely passionate about children and the ‘importance of play’ ethos that we have at the nursery. Each child will be designated a Key Person who oversees their development and keeps you fully informed about their well-being and progress at our nursery.

Within the nurseries we have high adult:child ratios, which exceed government regulations, to enable one-to-one care as well as group play throughout the working day. It is particularly important that team relationships are fostered effectively to ensure a happy and relaxed atmosphere within which the children have fantastic role-models to support your parenting.

A happy team makes for a happy and settled environment for your child and we are thrilled to have been awarded the Investor in People Award.

I have a home office and can be found at my desk working through the finances and HR, boring some may say, but I’m a geek with numbers!
