Staff

We are a family run nursery, led by Fiona Brissenden, Early Years Professional, BA Hon, Mont Dip and daughter,  Camilla Sayer, QTS, BA Hon,  Mont Dip, who work with a team of staff who are all fully qualified to level III / II or who are actively undertaking training to gain a full and relevant qualifications. 

Every member of staff at The Old School House Nursery (OSHN Ltd) recognises and appreciates the absolute need to respect and understand each child as an individual. We will take the time to speak to your little people to encourage their language development. 

We will play with them to encourage their imagination and exploration and most importantly we will encourage their enjoyment and sense of fun, whilst at the same time encouraging the early development of listening skills and the ability to follow simple instructions

We provide a secure, caring environment for the children attending the nursery and maintain and adult to child ratio often in excess of the government’s requirement which is 1 member of staff to 3 babies and toddlers from 3 months to 2 years, 1 member of staff for each four 2 – 3 year old children and then 1 to each eight children from 3 yrs upwards (although usually ratios at this stage are 1/5 or 1/6 maximum). 

Each room is lead by a core of qualified and experienced staff, who in turn are supported by assistants. The children are supervised and cared for at all times under the same ratios when indoors and also when outdoors.
