4worldlovers: My name is Hayley O’Neill and I am the Nursery Manager here at Radcliffe Road Day Nursery in Nottingham.

Being a parent of four children myself, I aspire to provide the very best care and Early Years education available. I love my job and the opportunity to be surrounded daily by children, their parents and our wonderful staff.
