Our nursery manager, Ellen Olliffe has over 40 years' experience in childcare and 28 leading the team at Grove Park Pre-School. After ensuring our children are secure and confident,  her priority is ensuring they have meaningful learning opportunities and skillful adult support.

Our teaching team is led by Ellen (Early Years Teacher), Katie (NNEB) and Tash (NVQ Level 3)  who ensure that staff understand how to provide an environment rich with opportunities for exploration, active learning and creative thinking.  

Katie (Under 3's Unit Leader) and Tash (Pre-School Leader and Deputy Manager)  started their childcare careers at Grove Park Pre-School, left to teach for many years in school nurseries and returned three years ago.  We feel very fortunate that they have brought their skills and expertise back to a nursery which means a great deal to them and about which they feel passionate.

All of our staff hold a Paediatric First Aid (12 hours) certificate
