Having taught in infant schools in Trafford and Stockport for over 10 years, Mrs Wills recognised the need for high quality nursery education providing excellent educational facilities for children aged 2- 5 years.
Due to a demand for places at Thorley Day Nursery, provision was increased in 1995 to accommodate the growing community. In 2007 an additional purpose-built extension was added to the setting to enable babies from 3 months to join the caring and homely nursery.
Mrs Wills has always insisted on providing high quality teaching combined with a homely environment for all children and their families. Thorley Day Nursery has an impeccable reputation for high quality and meaningful care and education.
Lucy Pettit was part of the nursery workforce from a young age. She grew up spending lots of time in the nursery, playing with the children and preparing activities. She worked in the nursery during school holidays and when she returned home each term while studying at university. She joined the nursery team full time in 2007 and trained in early years care and education gaining a Post Graduate certificate and Early Years Professional Status now known as Early Years Initial Teacher Training. As a mother of three young children Lucy knows how important it is for parents to feel at ease leaving the most important thing in their lives with people they trust and who they know can nurture and meet the well-being, learning and development needs of their child in their absence.
Thorley Day Nursery is the sole interest of Mrs Wills and Mrs Pettit. They have an uncompromisingly strong focus on ensuring all children’s progress is developed in a warm and homely environment with excellent facilities and teaching.
