Hi, my name is Laura, and I am the Creche Manager at TeesValley Tots. I have just returned from
Maternity leave and I’m looking forward to any new challenges my role will bring.
The nursery is growing all the time and after consultation with parents we have decided to try
opening later to help more working parents with childcare.
We follow the EYFS framework – The learning and development requirements cover seven prime areas,
which are considered particularly important for stimulating children’s interest in learning, and in
building relationships:
My great staff team encourage all our children to be individuals and reach their full potential
whilst having fun.
Tees Valley nursery is a social enterprise entity within the women’s centre. it provides affordable childcare for children between ages 0-5
Our nursery operates within all government & Ofsted guidelines.
