As a privately owned nursery with a very experienced early years team, we feel that you should not have to compromise your child’s need for a homely and safe environment if you choose childcare. Parents and Carers can rightly expect that their child’s care and education should be reliable, nurturing, convenient and above all, of the highest possible quality. At Little Crickets, we offer our children warmth, comfort, love, and kindness.
It takes lots of positive energy and adaptability to work with young children. Tolerance, patience, kindness, and imagination are integral to stimulating our littles ones – to maximise their personal development and growth. Cheerfulness, a sense of humour and a strong team spirit is essential to facing the demands of the job – day in, day out. At Little Crickets, we work as one team – supporting each other in all that we do. Above all it takes an authentic belief in the individual worth of each child and a real determination to ensure that they can develop to their full potential – irrespective of gender, race, religion, or disability. These values are integral to our success.
