The Nest Nursery School Team

Passionate, motivated and empathic.

The Nest has a carefully selected team of carers, practitioners and Early Years Teachers. We employ three Early Years Teachers, two teachers with QTS (Qualified Teacher Status), 4 practitioners educated to degree level and many level 3 Floor Managers and Practitioners. We are committed to developing an Early Years workforce with the skills and passion to make a real difference to children's lives. We have a highly skilled team of managers and senior practitioners who can support and mentor trainees. We have the confidence in our team to model best practice to new practitioners, helping to keep our team motivated and ambitious. It sets us apart from other nurseries as a forward thinking local setting, not only with a highly qualified team but with the dedication to develop a skilled Early Years workforce for the future of Brighton and Hove.
