Tim Cowell’s son Oliver was one of the first children to attend the nursery. Now 22 he is working in the Royal Navy as a leading engineering technician for weapons and communication systems.
Oliver said: “I loved my time at Tiny Tugs. I remember Amanda and her fantastic team. I will never forget how kind they were to me.”
Tim, one of the Trust’s Senior Facilities Managers said: “Being a single parent whilst trying to hold down a full-time job was an extremely challenging time. The Trust introducing Tiny Tugs helped greatly as it took the pressure off allowing me to do my job in the knowledge Oliver was in safe hands and under the great care of the nursery staff.”
The nursery has seen many memorable events since its opening, from the very first graduation ceremony, summer fetes, a 10th birthday party to celebrating the King’s Coronation in May 2023.
Amanda added: “The nursery prides itself on being a warm, welcoming, family friendly environment and myself and the team look forward to welcoming many more staff and their little ones through our doors.”
The nursery was established as a result of the NHS childcare strategy developed in 2001. The strategy focussed on the recruitment and retention of staff to return or remain in the health service by providing good quality, accessible and affordable childcare.
