I opened William House Day Nursery in Darlington 15 years ago this year. It is a reasonably large nursery with 90 children and 35 staff, and for the last 12 years we have employed a full-time nurse.
I decided to recruit a nurse because I felt she would enhance the staff team. Our present nurse, Edith Walker, is a state registered nurse and has been working with us full time for four years.
Although the staff are trained nursery nurses and know about the development of children from birth and how to give medicines, I felt having a trained nurse with us would give our parents greater confidence and security.
