About Us
Our Story
​
Meet our founder, Lady Jayne Ackers. Jayne obtained a Bachelor of Education Degree at Bath University, and became a secondary school teacher in both Child Development and Home Economics.
After many years as a teacher, she spent the latter part of her career as a college tutor, training Nursery Nurses for the National Nursery Examination Board (NNEB).
After having adopted their first child Nicky in 1990 from Romania, and later in 1997, their daughter Harriett from China, Jayne and her late husband James soon realised that alternative childcare options were just not up to scratch. Determined to change the institutional feel to children’s nurseries and provide a second-family to children and staff, Seesaws Day Nursery & Nursery School was born in 1994.
​
We are now a family of 5 nurseries with pre-and-after-school clubs and 3 holiday clubs across the West Midlands.
SEESAWS VALUES
What makes us different from everybody else you may ask?
​
We put our uniqueness down to our values. Our values make us, us; they are the reason we work so well and are able to call ourselves a 'Seesaws family'.
​
Seesaws works because everyone comes together, even through the ups and downs.
WE ARE
Open-Minded
There is no one way to do something. We listen to, consider and develop our understanding of ideas, experiences, and opinions that are different from our own. We take into account lots of different aspects when coming up with ideas and solutions.
WE ARE
Attuned
We are more than empathetic, we are highly aware, attentive and reactive to the behaviours, emotions, and actions of our teams, the children in our care, parents, families, carers, and our communities.
WE ARE
Collaborative
Two heads are better than one! We listen to one another, help and support one another, and work and grow together to achieve our goals.
WE ARE
Tenacious
We are determined and do not give-up easily.
