Our Team
Our well qualified, committed and experienced team work hard to create a caring and learning environment in the nursery.
We know that every child develops differently and at different times. Every child has a key person who understands their individual needs and interests. This helps us to ensure that every child feels involved, stimulated and happy in our care.
We follow rigorous staff recruitment, selection and supervision procedures to ensure that anyone joining our team undertakes relevant security checks including Disclosure and Barring Service disclosure, references and qualification checks. Parents are reassured knowing that child protection and safeguarding underpins every aspect of our practice and will continue to remain a priority for us.
Your child's 'key person'
Every child who joins the nursery receives support from an experienced member of the team. They are responsible for your child’s individual needs and known as the ‘key person’. The key person is your main point of contact however all nursery staff are happy to feedback on your child’s developmental progress on a daily basis or discuss any concerns with you. They will also keep records of your child’s progress and achievement, which are always available for you to see and contribute towards.
Your child’s key person will make time to find out from you about your child’s interests, likes, dislikes and special requirements. Please share any important or useful information when you register your child and throughout their time with us. This helps us to give your child the most appropriate care and learning to suit their developmental, emotional and physical needs. You can access and contribute your views to your child's progress and achievements in their records.

How quickly can my child start?
We are keen that every child feels settled, happy and secure in our childcare. We want to make the big step from home into childcare a positive experience for everyone.
Once your child is offered a place, you and your child start a ‘settling in’ process that is based on your child’s needs.
We help your child settle comfortably by:
- Recognising that some children take longer to settle than others
- Encouraging your child to develop a special relationship with their key person so they feel secure in our care
- Introducing your child to our daily routine and the environment at different times of the day so they feel reassured and familiar with different sessions
- Making you feel welcome to stay with your child at the beginning over a period of time and different times of the day. Over time you can gradually spend longer periods apart until your child is ready to start their daily session without you
- Talking with you regularly about the best way to settle your child and listening to your queries or concerns. We want you to feel confident and relaxed when you leave your child in our care
- Your child only officially starts with us when they complete their first short session happily without you.

Parent testimonials
"I have been bringing my daughter to the setting for three years now since she was 13 months old and my youngest daughter has been attending since she was 10 weeks old. To know my children are happy in the setting gives me peace of mind that I can go off to work and not have to worry. Not only are they happy in the setting they are also excited in the morning when they get there just because they are happy to see the staff members.
"I have to say that every member of staff is an asset to the setting, they do have a job to do but they genuinely all care about the children. They have given my children the best start in life and are helping them grow in to lovely kids who know boundaries and understand what is right and wrong.
"I know that if I have any concerns that I can address them with Dee the manager and she will always listen to any worries and try to find the best solution.
"Without the friendly staff members I don’t think my children would be the same; my children are happy, outgoing, confident young girls and that is partly down to the staff members at William Gladstone Childcare.
"They also keep you updated about my children’s progress and what they have done daily, letting me know their daily routine so that I can stick to this at weekends when I am not at work.
"I know that my children look up to the staff members and it is great to have the peace of mind that I do and know that my children are in the company of such lovely people who I can trust and know that my children are happy to be left with them.
"I would recommend the setting to any one if you want your child to progress and learn but be happy at the same time and most of all have fun then this is the nursery for you."
"To all William Gladstone staff — thank you all for been there for us as a family. You are priceless and no words can describe our gratitude. Our children are safe in your care while we pursued our careers; you made sure they behaved well with good manners when we pick them up every night. We deeply appreciate every one of you.
"Having a child that cannot talk and who is afraid of any social events or any social community is hard and taking that first step into nursery is so scary but all the team that works within the nursery made me feel at ease straight away just seeing the time and effort they put into every child is amazing, you can see they are not "Just another child". Since my son has started there he has made amazing progress and is like a different child and that is from the help and support of everyone there.
"Without Dee my son wouldn’t have the help he so needed, Dee has gone above and beyond to help my son she has also helped me I never knew how where to start with my son's talking. No one has ever made me feel so welcome as she has and I thank her a lot. I truly feel at ease when my son is in there care and knowing he is so looked after to see my son enjoy it is lovely.
"Before he started going there he hated going anywhere with lots of people. He has a lovely bond with all that work there. I recommend this nursery to everyone I know with children as I truthfully believe there is nowhere better. The time and effort and support they give a family is lovely and I will be forever grateful to them. This is my second child to have gone to this nursery and both times they have loved it, it’s an amazing place with amazing people."
