Our values are at the heart of what we do here at BFDN and we are incredibly proud of the team we have built and the exceptional qualifications they hold. With a mixture of Early Year Practitioners and Qualified Teachers, we have a highly trained, passionate team who take pride in the care they give.
We have two Qualified Teachers - one who is specialised in early years. One member of staff who is qualified to a level 6 (degree) and one working towards the qualification. All of our staff are paediatric first aid trained and many members of the team have completed specialised training such as makaton and autism awareness.

I love my job and I am hugely passionate about young children being given unforgettable learning experiences here on the farm everyday!"
