Anita Mellor, Spring RAF Cosford Nursery Manager is proud of the support they offer for all parents but in particular, being  

“Being a nursery setting on a military base, my staff and I pride ourselves in ensuring we develop a strong partnership with all parents and carers. This goes from strength to strength throughout their journey here at Spring, as there may be many times military parents will have to leave their families for a long period of time for work. Our goal here is not only supporting the children but it’s also making sure our door is always open to all parents to provide any support needed. Parent Partnership is paramount to both civilian and military families. We are incredibly grateful and proud that this award recognises the job we do for our Spring families. It really means a lot to our team.” 


We are looking forward to attending the awards ceremony on Saturday 20th November in London and will be inviting nominated Spring Nursery staff members to recognise them for their continued commitment, care and dedication to all Spring families.
