Meet The Team at Pier Lodge Day Nursery

At Pier Lodge Day Nursery we are proud of the fantastic purpose built facilities that we have.  However we believe that without the world class team that we have in place, the nursery would be just a shell. Our wonderful team make every child's experience the best it can be and infuse a wonderful personality and life in to the nursery, which we know makes it the fantastic nursery it is today.

Below are our senior team members and a little bit about them.  If you ever need to get in touch with a team member, just give us a call on the phone.
