At Playdays we pride ourselves in the quality of staff chosen

They are all assessed for their experience, qualifications, enthusiasm, dedication and especially for their love of children. There is a continually high ratio of staff to children, so every child receives the individual attention he or she deserves. There is also ongoing training in all areas offered to include paediatric first aid, basic food hygiene, health and safety as well as more extensive training in the Early Years Foundation Stage, play workshops and special educational needs.

Sarah Wynne-Jones

My name is Sarah Wynne-Jones, and I am the Nursery Manager of Playdays Nursery School in Chiswick.

After completing my Dipolma in Pre-School Educational and Foundation Phase Teacher Assistant Training, I began my journey working with Playdays Wimbledon, this was in 2005, and I have never looked back. I started my career working hands on in the nursery rooms, caring for and supporting children across all age groups. Those early years gave me invaluable experience and shaped the way I lead today.

Over time, I have progressed to Deputy Manager and later stepped into the Manager role during maternity cover. It was during this time in 2012, that I was offered the wonderful opportunity to lead our Chiswick branch, a role I feel truly privileged to hold.

Kerry Nihill

My name is Kerry Nihill and I am the Nursery Manger of the two Playdays branches in Barons Court / West Kensington. The 2 branches in West Kensington operate very much as 1 nursery. Our ‘Sunshine’ Baby room and ‘Rainbows’ Toddler room are located in Barton Road. The children then transfer to our Pre-school class in Comeragh Road at around 2.5 years. The same ethos and planning structure remains the same in both nurseries, this being ‘In the moment’ and ‘child-initiated learning’; planning from the child’s interests and extending their learning from this.
