Our Staff

Our staff are the most important part of our settings. Each staff member is rigorously selected to ensure that they possess the correct skills and aptitude to uphold our high standards of care, but also to maintain a happy, caring and fun environment. With ongoing training and evaluation we ensure that all of our staff continue to maximise the quality of care they offer you and your child.

  • All staff are trained in Safeguarding and Prevent Duty Concerns.
  • Our rolling programme of Paediatric First Aid training ensures there are always multiple trained practitioners on site at any time.
