Flying Start @ Marjon

Business continues to grow at Flying Start Nurseries and we have recruited a number of excellent new staff members this year already. However, we are still looking for high quality trainees at Saltash, Duchy (Callington) and Redruth as well as qualified staff at Duchy and Redruth.

Sharon Cowburn B.Ed. established the first Flying Start Nursery in Camborne in 1993. As a qualified early years teacher she was motivated to give children 'a flying start'. At that time, Sharon and partner Steve had a lively 5 year old, twins of 9 months and another baby on the way so lots of motivation to meet the demands of busy families with inquisitive children! Since that time Flying Start has evolved and expanded to its present 8 centres spread across the whole of Cornwall and into Plymouth.

Flying Start is driven by quality and was set up originally to support all parents, including those who work. We are very proud of our excellent Ofsted results and continually strive to improve. We currently have two OUTSTANDING results and have been "Investors in People" since 2002. We were highly commended for our provision of extensive in-house training and for the way in which we try to develop our staff team.
