Our highly qualified and friendly staff care for, respect and develop the individual personality of each child whilst providing a stimulating environment for children to realise their full potential, both socially and by learning through play.
All staff regularly undertake training including first aid and child protection training. Six members hold an NVQ3 Certificate in Childcare and Education , two a Level 2, one who is working towards a qualification and an Administration Manager.
We ensure that all staff at Playgroup are checked via enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service checks. References, copies of birth and marriage certificates and further personal identification must be provided before a position at the Playgroup is confirmed. Certificates of qualifications gained must be provided.
Each child will be allocated a key person before they start playgroup but this is subject to change. A child needs to bond with his/her key person independently and without knowing the child, it is hard to know which member of staff they will gravitate to. If a child “chooses” a different key person, parents and staff are informed immediately. Your key person will work closely with you and your child, to build a positive relationship that make him/her feel safe and secure in giving him/her confidence to participate and enjoy their time with us.
