Our Team

Welcome to the Orchard Day Nursery Family.

Every child has a voice and will be heard at the ODN. All practitioners work together, sharing their individual knowledge and experiences not only with each other but with the children and parents and we celebrate our successes together.

All of us are passionate about childcare and providing an environment and atmosphere where the children can thrive, staff can progress and further develop their expertise, and where parents can feel respected and included.

All our practitioners are enhanced DBS checked before commencing work at the ODN and qualified from a level 2 – level 7. They are mostly all first aid and paediatric trained which includes training in using an EpiPen if the need every was to arise.

We have practitioners from all walks of life, which aids us to learn more about different cultures, celebrations and festivals from around the world. We follow British Values in our day-day activities and encourage the children to be kind, respectful and to help each other.
