Joined Sudbrook in April 2025
The first thing I noticed in Sudbrook was the warm and welcoming atmosphere, the colleagues and their interaction with the children. I understand why parents and children feel welcome and safe at Sudbrook. The team tries to see and to support the individual child in all areas. What more could you want as a parent when your child goes to kindergarten for the first time – isn’t it the feeling that your child is in good hands here, just like in a family?
