My Name is Naomi Jackson, I gained My NNEB Nursery Nursing Diploma in 1994 and have been working with young children ever since. I have a BA hons degree in early years and continue to undertake further training. I have a strong commitment to staff training and development and encourage the staff to regularly attend courses to enhance their professional development and then share new ideas within the nursery.

My role is managing our highly committed and long serving team who between us have over 70 years of childcare experience, I ensure that every child is cared for to the highest standards and that their individual needs are met. We are committed to learning through play and ensuring that every child enjoys their time spent with us. We do this by building close partnerships with you the parents and sharing information about your child and what they like. This way we can plan activities and experiences that excite and stimulate your child.

I work closely with Frances our nursery chef to ensure that the children receive tasty and nutritious meals when in nursery. The nursery is committed to healthy eating  and we encourage the children to eat a good variety of fresh fruit and vegetables and often include them in preparing their own meals. We work closely together to ensure that every child is offered a healthy balanced diet.

As an experienced early years educator  I support the team in the role of special educational needs co-ordinator and among my many roles I have spent years as a health and safety co-ordinator providing me with experience of developing safe play environments.
