The Fit 'n' Fun staff team set itself the challenge of achieving Gold Standard Investors in People accreditation this year, which it did in March, the first nursery in Cornwall to do so.

Management works hard to recruit the right person for each vacancy and to offer them quality training to meet the needs of the children and their families and fit in with the staff. Candidates undertake work experience before being offered a position, then have a four-week induction process, followed by professional development support through consultation, mentoring and coaching. This has led to a low staff turnover.
