I’ve worked at blue sky since I was a young teenager. I’ve loved seeing the nursery and business grow and the teams change and adapt to all conditions, from working through the pandemic to training up new staff. I started as a part time assistant with no knowledge on childcare and now I’m a senior supervisor and I feel as I have learned a lot in my time at nursery. The management and team are always happy to help and are often encouraging you to further your career.
