The vetting procedure for nursery nurse employment is strict and includes Police checks (CRB). At least 75% of our team are qualified to NNEB/NVQ level 2 and 3. Little Cherubs operates a continuous in-house training program to improve the quality of care offered to our clients.

Under 2 years old 1 adult to 3 children
2 to 3 years old 1 adult to 4 children
3 years + 1 adult to 8 children
Multi-Lingual:
The nursery has multi-lingual staff within the setting. We have 6 languages fluently spoken and we are planning to introduce foreign language lessons in the new year. The languages include:
- German
- Polish

First Aiders:
There is a first aid box complying with the health and safety (First Aid) regulations 1981, the contents of which are checked frequently and replaced. This is kept in an accessible place out of the reach of children.
The nursery has over half the staff as qualified first aiders.
Buckinghamshire Quality Assurance Scheme:
Little Cherubs Day Nursery is involved in the Quality Assurance Scheme with the Bucks County Council, called the "Buckinghamshire Quality Assurance Scheme", which gives parents peace of mind that the care offered to their children is of the highest standard.
