The A Team
A nursery is only so good as the team of nursery educators. Our team consists of 17 members. Two experienced and qualified managers who have been with Plantos for more than 15 years are in charge of the day to day running of the nursery and the learning and development of each child.
Team leaders are based in each room together with their group of educators. Our chef prepares all our meals freshly on site. All of our team are DBS checked and qualified.
