Halstead Nursery
We offer a wide range of Nursery Services:
Our Story
Our wonderful journey in childcare began in 1985 when Candy Don, the founder of Little Pickles, created her first nursery within her home, catering for just 8 children per day. Over the years Candy gained a wealth of experience and a wonderful reputation which has got us to where we are today.
Candy’s two daughters Clare and Julie were so inspired by her passion and motivation that they decided to come on board and share this magical experience with her. We are now proud to say we have our own purpose built, interlinking high spec nursery which has a wonderful outdoor free flow garden.
The Management Team
Having been run for so many years by Candy, she finally decided to retire, entrusting her two daughters Julie Turner and Clare Amerio to continue the Pickles journey. Julie and Clare joint manage Little Pickles and between them have 35 years experience in childcare. Both play a key role in the success of the nursery. Clare; having recently graduated with a BA Hons in Early Years is now half way through an initial teacher training programme, with the hope to achieve the Early Years teacher status qualification that she dreams of in July 2017.
She therefore takes on more of a leadership role on floor, whereas Julie being mostly office based, takes on the role as manager to ensure the smooth running of the nursey and delivering outstanding customer service to our parents. Together the two sisters share a great sense of direction, pride, achievement & energy.
Our Team
We hope that you will find it reassuring to know that the qualities that you look for in a person to look after your child are just the kind of qualities that we look for too. Warmth, sensitivity, confidence and understanding are the characteristics we look for and value in our team at Little Pickles Nursery.
We provide ongoing training for our team who comprise of a blend of experienced and professionally qualified practitioners and trainees. Our dedicated team members have an abundance of experience between them and each bring their own individual sparkle to our Little Pickles family.
