Staff Qualifications and Training ….. Wow !

Today there is so much media criticising nurseries for employing staff with too few qualifications and few have GCSEs in Maths and English. We’re very proud that the entire Tree House team is very well qualified and have been with Tree House for many years. Over 150 years in total actually !!!
