Our Staff
Supporting education for Early Years.
At Bear Hugs Nursery we are able to provide individual care and attention, because of our high ratio of adults to children. Our children are encouraged to learn through play and experience fun and friendship with their peers and the staff.
One of Bear Hugs Nursery’s most valuable assets is the strong staff team who are dedicated to the education and care of the children who attend Bear Hugs Nursery.
Fiona Fox is the owner & manager who has gained a First Class BA Honours Degree in Early Years. Fiona has 26 years of voluntary and paid experience of working with children, 17 years within an early years setting.
