. Meet the team .

At Rodley Village Day Nursery, we employ a wide range of staff considering their experience, qualifications, dedication and above all a passion to work with children.

The staff have many years of experience and are selected for their skills and caring nature. We are all passionate about childcare with a low turnover of staff we pride ourselves in our happy team!

All staff are vetted in line with our safer recruitment process. We request references, carry out enhanced DBS checks and all are registered on the update service.

We also have a supportive management team with a wealth of experience in childcare, our door is always open, and we aim to be approachable, friendly and reassuring.

Each room has a room leader, a team of staff in accordance with ratios and an apprentice.

Sarah the owner is very hands on and you will often see her around helping in rooms, cooking and in the office helping Abi and Rhi. You will also sometimes see Maggie the dog in the office with a welcome wag of her tail!

Abi is the manager of the setting, she has many years' experience in early years along with a 1st class honours degree in childcare, learning and development. She works across both sites to deliver training and share her knowledge.

Rhi is the Deputy manager, she has over 12 years of experience in early years and is dedicated to the nursery and her staff. Rhi is also the SENCo of the setting with level 3. Rhi plays a key role in supporting the team, mentoring staff, and ensuring high standards of care and education across all age groups.

All our staff are first aid trained in line with Millies Mark and keep up to date with the training available.
