Our Staff
We have nine permanent members of staff. Each staff member has a group of 'key children' who they help settle into the preschool and ensures their learning and development takes place during their time with us. We ensure that we work at a high ratio of adults to children at all times to maximise safety and learning opportunities. All staff have completed safeguarding, paediatric first aid and food hygiene training within our setting. Additionally, all staff have received training on FGM, Prevent duty, Communication and Language development, phonics and Makaton.
