A warm welcome from the nursery Manager
Jade Martin
Nursery Manager at Shirley Green Day Nursery
Thank you for taking the time to discover Shirley Green Day Nursery. My name is Jade Martin, and I’m the Nursery Manager here.
I began my childcare career in London, working as a nanny for families in Central London. Since relocating to Warwickshire, I have been part of Tommies Childcare for over five years. During this time, I have progressed from Nursery Practitioner to Nursery Manager at a sister-nursery, before taking the opportunity to manage Shirley Green Day Nursery.
Here at Shirley Green, I am proud to be part of a warm and experienced team. Together, through strong partnerships with parents, we have created an inviting and homely environment where children feel safe, nurtured, and inspired to learn.
I would love the opportunity to share more about life at Shirley Green with you. Please feel free to arrange a visit or consultation – my door is always open.
