Richard established a small creche at the original Elmore Road location in 1991 and over the past three decades, he has successfully grown the business to the three sites we have today. A Sheffield lad with a background in engineering, a dry sense of humour and a ready smile, he takes a very hands on approach to the management of the nurseries, even getting involved in storytelling with the children, an activity that we have decided to name, ‘Reading with Richard.’

But his fun side doesn’t end there! When he’s not listening to Diana Ross and the Supremes, the first record he ever bought, he’s snowboarding down a mountain side with his children.

One of lifes movers and shakers, if he could be any animal it would be the meerkat, as they are the fixer uppers of the animal world. They move in, renovate and make it their home, perhaps this is what has inspired Richard to continue with the development of the nurseries.

Nazli has a Degree in Business/Finance and School Business Management qualifications, and previously tutored School Business Managers to achieve their own qualifications. She supports all three nurseries ensuring they attain the highest standards by liaising with them daily and improving working practices. Originally growing up Egypt and the Congo, she loves to travel and on occasion has had crazy adventures like a 1000-mile trip from Mumbai to Cochin in a tuk tuk to raise money for charity! In her spare time Nazli likes to spend time with friends and family, go for walks, do yoga, cook and go swimming, all the usual things.
