Nursery Chains: Management - One big family

Management Provision
Nursery World's Nursery Chain of the Year prizes its managers and staff, says Karen Faux.

Cranley Nursery provides a shining example of how it is possible to achieve very high standards across a small group of nurseries. Its three sites in Edinburgh all deliver a homely and stimulating environment that is highly prized by families, children and staff. This success was recognised recently with a Nursery World award for Nursery Chain of the Year.

It has only been possible to achieve this consistency by continually improving all three sites and focusing on in-house and external training of staff.

Staff morale is high, with a low turnover among the senior staff. The group's managers have been in post for between five and 11 years.
