Recruitment At Fennies

At Fennies Whitton, we follow a thorough recruitment process to bring in new team members who are committed to Early Years education.

Our approach ensures that high standards of safeguarding, care and education are always upheld. Every new team member completes a detailed induction to prepare for their role, and by the second day, they undertake paediatric first aid training. This gives them the essential skills to help create a safe and supportive environment for every child.

We recognise the Early Years as the foundation for a child’s lifelong learning. At Fennies Whitton, we uphold high standards through regular quality audits. These are carried out by Regional Managers working closely with Rageena, Head of Compliance, and Eleanor, Head of Education, to ensure excellence is maintained in every area of care and learning.

Specialist Education Team

Children at Whitton also benefit from the expertise of our Specialist Education Team, which includes the SENDCO Specialist, Art Specialist and Education Advisor. These specialists add depth to children’s experiences through initiatives such as ‘Artist of the Month’ and ‘Book of the Month’. Children take part in trips into the local community, including visits to the library, and families can borrow from the Lending Library to continue encouraging a love of reading at home.

Famly App

The Famly App helps parents stay informed with updates about their child’s day in real time. Information on routines, milestones, photographs and nursery activities keeps families connected and engaged. This regular communication strengthens parent partnerships and supports children’s development.

Safety And Security
