Why It Matters

The Importance of Our Team

The relationships children build with the adults who care for them are at the heart of early years. When a child feels genuinely known and safe, they grow in confidence, curiosity and joy. That is why we choose staff not only for their professional skill but for the warmth, patience and faith they bring to our nursery family.

Supporting Every Child

We take time to understand each little one — their personality, interests and the things that help them feel secure. Every child is an individual.

Christian Values in Practice

Kindness, patience, honesty and compassion aren't just words on a page. They're the way our team treats children, families and one another each day.

Our Commitment to Families

We see parents as partners. We're here to listen, to share the small joys and to work alongside you in the best interests of your child.

Professional Early Years Practice

Our team brings thoughtful, informed early years practice to everything they do — caring for children with both heart and professional understanding.

Jayne Richardson

Jayne Richardson

Centre Director & Founder

Jayne Richardson founded EPIC Education to create a nursery where Christian faith forms the foundation of everyday life. Her vision took shape while raising her own family — a quiet hope that one day she could create a place where little ones would be surrounded by love, faith and purpose. Today, as a grandmother, she is delighted to see that vision become reality.

What I love: Seeing children discover that they are known, loved and created with purpose.
