How It All Began…
All About Children was established in 2010, by three colleagues who had worked together previously. Whilst they enjoyed working in the sector, they felt disillusioned by what was being provided. They were really passionate about childcare and wanted to establish a group that would put children at the centre of everything that they did, and so, All About Children was born.
Back in 2010, All About Children’s journey began with the belief that nothing was more important than delivering outstanding outcomes for children. This is a belief that our work family of over 900 members still strongly stand by today.
I have been impressed by the level of care given to my son since he started. The daily warm welcome of the staff makes both children and parents alike feel at ease. Seeing the smile on my boy’s face as we drive into the car park is proof enough for me that the team are doing something right.

Children are at the heart of our approach, in everything that we do and everything that we aspire to. One of our ethos statements is “We have the courage to put children before anything else”, and this truly sets the tone for how we value the children that we care for.
“We have always believed in prioritising the development of a love of learning in children, and believe that children who gain confidence and are encouraged to be curious, to explore, to challenge, to ask questions and to experiment will be better prepared for school and a life of learning.”
Westfields and Langley Gorse Day Nursery were the very first nurseries we acquired in September 2010. At that time, there were around 60 members of the team but today, that has grown to over 900!
Our Working Environment
All of the settings across our bespoke nurseries are designed and exceptionally well equipped to offer exciting, stimulating and engaging spaces for our children (and our teams) to grow and develop in, with lots of resources to utilise and natural light. These environments provide fantastic opportunities for the children in our care to explore, play and learn.
We would describe ourselves as friendly, open, transparent and informal. This working environment provides all of our team members with a warm and positive atmosphere. We like to view our nursery teams as ‘work families.’
Silchester Manor has given me a platform to not only work and learn but also make a difference in children’s development and growth. The nursery has a great team to coordinate and work with, which brings a great difference in morale. In all, a great setting to work with and be in!

Our Approach
Whilst our nurseries are all individual in their own right, we are inspired by many amazing early childhood pioneers. This is evident in our approach, policies and training practices.
We believe in promoting awe and wonder to our children that engages them in the joy of doing, rather than focusing on the end result.
My little girl has recently started and is absolutely loving her time at nursery. The settling in sessions were brilliant and really helped put my mind at ease, especially with me starting back at work. The ladies in the Baby Room are super friendly and enthusiastic and I can’t thank them enough for their support in what could have been quite an emotional rollercoaster.

Our Management Team
We believe in supporting our Nursery teams to deliver the very best job that they can and we do this through our fantastic team of specialists. Our Senior Team is made up of a combination of Childcare and Education Managers and Operations Managers.
We choose not to have a Head Office which means that all of our Senior Team spend their time in our settings. As a result, both our Childcare and Education and Operations Managers know each team member really well and have the opportunity to mentor, train, develop and support them according to their individual needs.
I have been working for the nursery for nearly 3 years as the manager. I have loved watching the staff and children develop. We get a lot of support from other nurseries and our senior management team. There is a variety of career progression not just for the staff but for the management team also.
