Central to our approach is creating “compassionate innovators” a phrase we have coined to encapsulate the Purple Jay way of childcare that has been developed through hard research, decades of cumulative childcare experience across our team, and detailed parent surveys.

The approach is “to help nurture children that can innovate and create the life they want in a way that is compassionate to themselves, others around them and the planet”.

“Compassionate Innovators” puts the development of emotional intelligence and creativity/innovation at the very heart of things.

Nature is integrated into every one of our Purple Jay Nurseries.

Whether that is through continued investment into our gardens and prioritisation of outdoor play, working harder to ensure more of the children’s activities take nature into account, or working with trusted and vetted external parties to deliver enriching nature based experiences for the children.

We seek to give children an awareness, understanding and appreciation of the natural world and the impact their actions can have on it, for better or worse.

Our experience shows, and mounting research supports, that making nature a bigger part of children’s lives has numerous physical and mental health benefits for them.

Great communication with our staff, parents, and children allows for calm, clarity, consistency and greater satisfaction overall.

Purple Jay Nurseries continues to invest significant time and resources to help ensure our parents have all the information they need, when they need it, in a way they are most receptive to so they feel as connected as possible to their children while they are in our care and get the vital peace of mind they deserve.

We have multiple open communication channels for parents to utilise and have a dedicated customer care staff member, which, more than anything, demonstrates how important communication is to us.

Mary Walters-Collett, Purple Jay Lewisham Nursery Manager

Mary has been in childcare for 13 years. In that time she has progressed from nursery cook all the way up to Senior Nursery Manager.

Her past 8 years have been in management and she’s enjoyed having a team to support and progress, supporting their learning and development so they can grow.

Her first experience in childcare was at the “Early Year Alliance” where, as a parent, she took an active role in ensuring the staff were fully trained in administering Adrenalin pens.

This experience got her more involved with the nursery, progressing further in it and gaining her level 5 qualification in the process! Mary takes pride in developing her own skills and keeping up to date with child development.

Mary started with us as Nursery Manager at Purple Jay East Dulwich 2 years ago. More recently has become the Nursery Manager at Purple Jay Lewisham as well as Senior Nursery Manager for the Purple Jay group.
