Welcome House day nursery celebrates 25th birthday

Welcome House, in Grove Road, Chichester, opened its doors in October 1992. Run by a mother and daughter team, Barbara Stanley and Victoria Baldwin, the nursery has since grown into a successful business, employing 13 staff and caring for more than 90 children a week.

Barbara said: “When we first started, there was no Ofsted and no formal curriculum and we had the freedom to followour own learning journey with the children. We have seen so much change over the years in education and ideas have come and gone, and it is this constantly evolving process that makes working in the Early Years so interesting.”
