“When you are committed to giving young children the very best start in life, a happy supported staff team, who love their work and workplace, is vital.”
The two nurseries are part of Childbase Partnership, a childcare company.
Childbase Partnership is an employee owned company.
Sandfield Manager, Kim Hambridge, said: “Ofsted inspectors have told us repeatedly that a happy and engaged staff team equals happy children.
“Our pride in our nursery and our company is reflected in our happy and confident children and there is nothing more rewarding or satisfying than that.”
