Flutterbies is supported by a team of 12 Nursery Practitioners who are all passionate about working with children in the early years sector. All staff have Paediatric First Aid Training and receive regular and ongoing training through a variety of internal and external professional development opportunities.

Our commitment guarantees that our employees are the best of the best, recruiting those who have a desire to make a difference to children and are passionate about the early years as a career choice.

In the 2017 Ofsted inspection report it was noted that, “Relationships between staff and children are strong. Staff promote children’s self-esteem through acknowledging and praising positive behaviour. Children behave well and play cooperatively.”

This is supported by a consistent and familiar staff team who have length of service on their side including Nicci Porter who has been part of our Tommies family since 2002. Nicci leads the Pre-school Room and has been instrumental in so many children’s lives during her time with Tommies.

Nursery Manager, Angela Brady, received the Tommies Childcare ‘Outstanding Contribution’ Award at our 2019 company awards ceremony, for her passion and commitment to the nursey and the company as a whole.

The rest of the team at Flutterbies have won several company awards over the years:

• Innovative Environments Award (2019): Garden Area
• Newcomer of the Year (2019): Dawn-Bradley Jones
• Outstanding Contribution Award (2019): Angela Brady
• Deputy Manager of the Year (2018): Angela Brady
• Innovative Environments Award (2018): Pre-school Room
• Newcomer of the Year (2018): Kayleigh Ballard)

Based at the setting is our cook Dawn Bradley-Jones who cooks all of the nursery meals on site. Dawn is extremely committed to working with parents and will personally meet with those parents of children who may have certain allergies or requirements. This helps ease parents, where they may have been anxious about the nurseries ability to cater for their child’s dietary requirements.

There is no doubt that in choosing Flutterbies for your child you will be supported and advised by a friendly and knowledgeable staff team, who genuinely care about the children in their care.
