 As part of our robust recruitment policy we ensure all nursery staff have under gone a Criminal Records Bureau enhanced disclosure check, two interviews and have provided at least two outstanding references. We are very proud of our diverse staff team in terms of age and experience. We aim to always ensure each room has an experienced member of staff to lead each room.
 
 
 
 
 

Staff Training:
All staff under go a full induction period within the nursery, being shadowed for their first two weeks within the setting, before becoming a 'member of staff'. 
 
At Mary Poppins we are fully committed to continuous professional development, and aim to ensure all staff access both in house and out house training on a regular basis.
