Meet the Team

Please ensure that you meet the team so that you can put a name to a face from the minute you first enter Scallywags!

Our team ranges from new recruits who are training with us to team members that have been with us since day one in 1995. It is important to note that Scallywags does not have a high turnover of staff and the team consists of many, more mature, members of staff with families of their own who have worked at Scallywags for a number of years providing continuity of care for your child.

 

The staff provide a friendly atmosphere and the development of your child is encouraged at his/her own pace. The staff provide activities to stimulate the children through play and other activities including music.

 

Each year the staff contribute to our ongoing business plan by devising plans to develop their own unit in line with the nursery's development.

 

Staff at Scallywags are mostly qualified with the D.N.N or equivalent qualification. Staff are also trained regularly in first aid.

 

The staff are humorous, amiable and loving with the children who very much enjoy their time at nursery. A key-worker system is in place for all age groups. Your child's key-worker is responsible for documenting your child's needs and progress and can talk to you about any concerns you may have with regard to these aspects of your child's care and education.
