Hi, I’m Janet and I’m the founder of Appletree Childcare.
I started learning about child development when I had my own children and became so interested I began helping in local playgroups and taking childcare qualifications, which eventually led me to open Appletree Nursery on 5th September 1994.
I’ve got lots of Childcare and Management qualifications and it’s part of our ethos for our team to continue to keep developing and learning.
In 2008 I made my business into a Charity as I believe that ALL children should be able to access quality childcare. I also feel it is very important that we give people an opportunity for a career, people who may not have done well at school, or find it hard to start a career, have disabilities (like me), or single parents who need to work around their childcare needs or mums that haven’t worked while bringing their own children up. These people form the Appletree Team, who have strength, kindness and compassion (and many qualifications!)
I am proud to say we have been supporting our wonderful children and families for over 30 years and we aim to continue well into the future.
