Our staff
and committee

Our dedicated staff are highly qualified in Early Years education, trained in Paediatric First Aid, and regularly updated on Safeguarding practices.

​

We are registered with Ofsted and undergo regular inspections to maintain high standards. As members of the Pre-school Learning Alliance, we continuously update our skills through ongoing training.

​

To ensure quality care, we maintain a child-to-adult ratio of 5:1 for 2-year-olds and 8:1 for children aged 3 and above. Our team also participates in regular refresher courses to stay up to date.

​

We are proud to have received a 'Good' rating in our latest Ofsted inspection. Our caring staff provide a safe, nurturing environment where every child can learn, grow, and thrive.

​

A volunteer parent management committee supports the Staff with the running of the pre-school.
