Norto5 KIDZ began in June 2006 when Peter and Carolyn Bird together with their son, Harley decided to open a nursery school. This seemed to be a natural product of each of their skills because Carolyn had many years of experience in childcare, as a foster parent, a mother and then as a childcare practitioner. 

Peter is a Chartered Accountant so he is able to attend to the administration and Harley has a lot of IT experience so could create all the management systems. Harley is a highly qualified IT technician who is well suited to ensuring that the business runs efficiently from a process perspective.
