All our Pre-School Assistants are trained to level 2 or 3 in early years or are working towards their qualification. All Key persons hold NNEB, BTEC and NVQ level 3 or above. Many of them hold a relevant First Aid certificate and staff attend a variety of other courses including, Safeguarding Children and their families, Food Safety, and learning and assessment, to keep themselves up to date with new legislation and initiatives in order to provide the very best care and provision for the children.
All staff, volunteers and students over the age of 16, who work/volunteer within the setting have been DBS checked, and where required approved by Ofsted.
We operate a child to staff ratio, in line with Ofsted requirements, those ratio’s being:
- One staff member for every 4 children aged under 3 years
- One staff member for every 8 children aged over 3 years
