ABOUT ME
Maria Fernanda Vera Cruz
Manager
I have twenty-nine years’ experience within nursery settings, including a management portfolio of twenty years. I graduated in 2015 with a BA in Early Years Teaching and Learning and hold a formal level 3 Early Years certificate. As well as a Master degree in Education(Leadership and Management) that I achieved in 2021. I will be the designated Safeguarding Officer for Little Rabbit Day Nursery and I hold both First Aid at Work and Paediatric First Aid certificates.
​
My vision is to provide quality childcare and excellent service for all children and their families, and I will work hard to ensure that we are providing the very highest standards of childcare possible.
Little Rabbit Day Nursery follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) which sets standards for learning, development and care of children from birth to 5 years of age. Within the learning and development section of the EYFS, there are seven areas of learning and development which we use to shape the educational programmes in our nursery.

The Zebedees provide our children with real food, prepared from scratch and cooked on the day of delivery. The menus are developed with Zebedees Nutritionist to ensure they meet the recommended nutrient targets for children (including salt and NME sugars). Meal times are a time of social interaction and enjoyment. Our children sit in small groups and the older children are encouraged to self-serve and staff are there to help all ages when needed.
We cater for all children with specific medical conditions, allergies and religious requirements.
