Hear what our staff love about us…
My experience at Bowlers Nursery has been extremely positive. Despite joining without prior experience, I was warmly welcomed and supported from the outset. The workplace fosters a strong family oriented atmosphere where colleagues are approachable and collaborative. I have particularly valued the opportunity to learn from a diverse team, each bringing their own knowledge and expertise. It is an encouraging environment that supports both personal and professional development. I am now undergoing my Level 3 in Childcare, a journey I am incredibly excited about!

I have over 20 years experience as an Early Years teacher and I can honestly say that Bowlers Nursery is the perfect setting for both children and staff. The adults all contribute to the planning following the children's interest and challenge their learning on a daily basis. The staff work securely as a team and communication between all staff members is fluid. Everyone at Bowlers knows their role and is 100 % committed to giving the children the best start in education possible. Bowlers Nursery children are very lucky to have a great open plan indoor space and a garden that has a good range of equipment to enhance the children's physical development. Bowlers Nursery is truly a community nursery with extremely supportive parents too.

I have worked in Bowlers for 4 and a half years. Bowlers to me is one big family full of love, kindness and warmth. From the moment you step through our front door you are welcomed as part of the Bowlers community. Working in Bowlers is a privilege for me, it has given me the opportunity to learn, flourish and develop skills I really struggled with before starting. One main skill being confidence, the guidance and support from staff and management has helped me grow in many ways. Working alongside the children and families is wonderful. The relationships formed are ones I cherish deeply. It's amazing to see the difference we make in some families' lives.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working at Bowlers and continue to enjoy my role in the setting, although I have a range of knowledge, I am continuously developing my knowledge, skills and abilities as an early years practitioner, which I am crediting to my manager who has given me the opportunity and support to develop and grow through a reciprocal exchange of lightheartedness and procedural approach to my role, the nursery is very child, family and community centered situated in a beautiful ecological which I feel I am a part off. I hope I am able to contribute something of value to the nursery, children and families as it has given me so much during my 9 years.
