The nursery itself looks amazing, they have great rooms but inside staff do not collaborate with each other, staff members are not friendly and are not supportive of each other. Management do not help and when asked for support they act as though it is a hassle, which is very unprofessional. They chat amongst themselves, staring at staff and laughing, this leaving staff members feeling overly anxious. Senior practitioners within the rooms are more interested in what goes on out of the rooms, they do not help and act as if they are better than the team they work with within the playrooms. My experience at the nursery was not great and left me with depression and made my anxiety a lot worse, I am hoping that if others members of staff start they dont have to feel the same way as I did. Although I enjoyed my time with the children I had to leave for my mental health as the harmful environment was proving to much. 

My overal experience at VPK was I was made to feel unwelcome, I was made to feel as though I didnt know what I was doing, was spoken to quite rude off management and other staff members within the nursery. Staff members who have been there for a few years think they are better than everyone else and they make you feel left out, do not include you, which as you can imagine makes a person feel worthless. I absolutely loved my job and working with the children was and will always be my main priority. Unfortunately this is not managements priority, I believe children are not getting the proper care and most children are left to themselves, as staff are too busy chatting. Would avoid if you would like to work in a place that values and accepts and includes all as this nursery does not do this. 


Come in in the morning sit the kids down for breakfast
Supervise kids while playing then sit them down for a story
Change nappies before playtime then go outside for half hour at the most 
Get kids ready for lunch then naps
Supervise kids while playing then sit down for a story
Get the kids dinner
Change nappies then home time after a while of playtime

learned how to look after young kids
hardest part of the job has to be nappies
co workers where absolutely brilliant
most enjoyable thing of the job has to be the satisfaction of helping the kids to be prepared for school & giving them skills like road safety stranger danger etc etc

I have worked at place for a few months. The Mangement team and staff within rooms are so unprofessional. At the beginning they will tell you they have empathy and all that for family situations. In reality they actually really don’t care . I have been pulled up for unreasonable things that have taken place in the rooms, only tried supporting staff . Then got pulled up for it because staff member didn’t like the response or the actions they displayed . The working environment is very stressful all the time .

My experience working at VKP has been very positive. I have worked in several different rooms over the years and have had a good experience in all. Staff are friendly and work well as a team. The staff are passionate about working with children and have great relationships with the children & parents/carers.

I have worked here now for over 10yrs and the most enjoyable part of the job is that all staff really do care. We pull together and work as a team, offering support and guidance along the way. 
Love working with all the staff and building relationships with children and their families. 

Staff team within room were great, management were shocking. Very unprofessional, made to feel unwelcome and stupid. Will never return nor put my own children within this nursery.

I was always supported & encouraged in each playroom over the years and built some lovely lasting relationships with families and staff.  

I left VPK due to relocation
