A few highlights
We are proud to be rated Outstanding by Ofsted which means we excel in the education and care of children.
Our local links mean children benefit from enriching experiences, whether celebrating harvest with older community members or taking trips to the library on our nursery bus.
Our outdoor areas spark imagination and excitement, where children can embark on pirate adventures, enjoy imaginative role-play in the farm shop and run free in our paddock.
Hello, my name is Dawn, and I am the Nursery Manager at Children 1st Acorns, Upper Tean.
I started my career in 1993 after gaining my NNEB qualification at Stoke on Trent College. Over the years, I have gained a great deal of experience working within the Early Years sector. I also hold a NVQ Level 4 in Nursery Management and have been our Nursery Manager since 2006.
Together, my team and I have a clear vision for the future in raising the standards for all children. I have high expectations of driving the team forward whilst leading the way and shaping the future. We have built good relationships with parents and the local community, where our friendly yet professional approach has always achieved success..
Every child is important and they should all receive the very best care and education available. I believe our passion and vision enable us to make a real difference in this wonderful Early Years setting, providing the highest quality care to help children reach their full potential. With a dedicated and hardworking team, we create the perfect environment for your child to thrive. I look forward to meeting you and your family soon.
