Our Team

At Lakehouse we currently employ 34 members of staff. ‘It’s our nature to nurture’ applies just as much to the team, as it does to our children. We have an incredibly rigorous recruitment process and we only recruit individuals that are passionate about early years education and have the relevant experience. We have always been complemented on our fabulous team, and a happy team make for happy children; therefore, we are confident that we can provide your precious little ones with the best care possible.

"I want Lakehouse and Stationhouse Nurseries to be a great place to work, where magic moments are experienced by adults and children alike. Where everyone is passionate about being the best they can be, and feels supported to do so. A place where you feel inspired, a place where you feel safe, a place where you feel successful, a place where you feel challenged. A place where you work because you want to, not because you have to. It’s in our nature and our nurture after all......” Zoe Parsons Founder and Director.
