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.

The Committee

A group of volunteer parents, elected by the parents of pre-school children, manages the pre-school. Elections for this committee occur during the Annual General Meeting, held in the Autumn Term each year.

​

The Committee must have a Chairperson, Treasurer, and Secretary as its officers, along with at least 3 and no more than 9 additional members. All members must undergo health and police checks as required by Ofsted.
