Our Staff

Every child has a Key Person enabling children to feel safe, happy, loved, secure and cared for. The key person is aware of all their key children's needs and developmental age, to enable them to plan for your child's future learning. Children new to pre-school will be offered a settling-in visit with their key person and key family to make the transition from home to pre-school as smooth as possible. The visit allows children and parents or carers to meet staff and share information about routine and development at home.
