Nursery World - Interview

Russell Ford, chief executive of nursery group All About Children, which has doubled in size with its acquisition of four nurseries from CfBT.

High-quality childcare is obviously important to you. How do you plan to improve the CfBT nurseries?

We want to build on existing practice, which is already good, to develop outstanding settings. Our first priority is to work with our teams to write a development plan for each nursery. Liz Richardson, our childcare and education director, will deliver training and work with our teams to create exciting environments and activities - for children AND themselves.

We'll look to improve resources and develop the large outdoor spaces at our nurseries, which offer huge potential for us to do something innovative. Each of our nurseries is different and we look to retain and develop their individuality.
