Our Staff

We operate to a very high ratio of well-qualified staff acknowledging the requirement of the local authority. Those ratios being:

• One staff for every 3 children aged 0-2 years
• One staff for every 4 children aged 2-3 years
• One staff for every 8 children aged 3-5 years
• However we endeavour to attain a much higher level of staffing ratios, wherever possible.

Staff knowledge and training in the supervision of our children is of prime importance.  In addition to our regular internal training and development programmes we established, and now maintain, a progressive educational programme for our staff.  This is directed and controlled on our premises by an independent and experienced childcare practitioner, ensuring that our staff are kept completely up to date with childcare and management issues along with any changes in childcare legislation.

Staff Training Days

The nursery is closed for staff training days throughout the year.  These are in January, at Easter and in October.
