What Our Staff Are Saying

"I've been working at Apple Bay since April and it's the best choice I've ever made. I previously worked at another nursery whilst both my children attended Applebay, and to see the joy and happiness they had when attending was priceless! They developed so much and that was all credit to the staff. They are an amazing team with so much care towards the children and each other. When the opportunity came to join the team I jumped at the chance and haven't looked back since!"

"I joined Apple Bay 5 years ago as a level 3 practitioner, and since then the journey has been incredibly rewarding. Apple Bay supported me throughout my Early Years Teacher qualification, giving me the encouragement and opportunities I needed to grow professionally. The team here is genuinely lovely-everyone supports one another, creating a warm and collaborative environment. Its been wonderful to watch the nursery grow and flourish over the years, and I'm proud to have been part of its development."
