Our Team

The Toybox Day Nursery is registered to take up to 30 boys and girls, with not more than 16 being under the age of two years.    

The majority of staff are trained to NNEB level or equivalent, whilst the others are undertaking training in NVQ Level 3 in Childcare.  A list of staff and their qualifications are posted on the notice board in the hall.  

Staff turnover is low and our Manager, Yvonne, has been with us since we opened in 1992. The two senior staff, Sue and Kelly, joined us in 1999 and the most recent staff members, Louise and Sarah, came in July 2007 to cover Maternity leave.Both have stayed with the nursery and we can offer higher staff to child ratios as a result. We have never had occasion to use staff from an agency so the children should have the same carers throughout their time with us. The only member of staff to leave decided not to return after the birth of a much longed for baby, but she still keeps in touch.

All our team are committed to continuous professional development and the nursery has been recognised as an Investor in People since 2001

Welcome to our wonderful website!

     We have achieved Cardif Healthy Eating Options Award, having fulfilled the Silver Standard. This award is in recognition of the healthy eating practices at the nursery and will complement the Food Standards Agency (Silver) Award which we have achieved for the last two years!! Next time we're 'Going for Gold'!!

 

    The 2007 Inspection report is available to read at the nursery - we are very pleased with the comments and overall contents and would like to thank all the parents who completed the questionnaires and took the time to speak to the Inspectors. Letters from past and existing parents are held in the office for anyone to read. This year's Inspection will take place over the summer and as soon as we receive the report, it will be available for you to see.

The BBC have been recent visitors as they came to film the 3 year olds enjoying outdoor play and activities. The children really enjoyed themselves, particularly one budding media star who tried to take over from the cameraman!
