​STAFF

Our pre-school staff are a caring and close knit team, with many years of experience working with young children between them. They all have a bredth of qualifications and have passed enhanced checks with the Disclosure and Barring Service.

 

While at the Pre-School each child is assigned a Key person, who will take special interest in that child; helping them to settle in and make friends, assessing their progress and discussing this with parents, and ensuring that the activities on offer are tailored to the child’s particular needs.

 

Please have a look at the profiles of our staff below, so you can get to know us all a little bit better.
