At My First Friends Nursery we believe in making strong links with the community and beyond. We understand the continuity of care for our nursery children and this reflects in most staff working at the nursery for 8 years and longer. In March 2019 the nursery will have been open for 50 years.
We are a charity status non profit making nursery and we have a high staff ratio to child which is higher than recommended by the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) this is because we are a small personal nursery offering 15 places per day
