Teachers & Support Staff
We know that in order to provide outstanding care, education and development for your child, our teachers and support staff are the key, and most important factor. It is for this reason we are able to assure you that:
- Our teachers and support teams distinguish themselves through their passion for working with children, commitment and diligence.
- Our teachers are sensitive to the individual needs of each child, their cultural and family backgrounds, and their developmental stage of learning.
- An appointed ‘key teacher’ looks after your child all day, every day and is responsible for meeting the needs of each child in their care and responds sensitively to their feelings, ideas and behaviour. They are responsible for keeping and updating your child’s development portfolio, planning for their individual needs and ensures they are happy and safe.
- All staff members have a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check before commencing work with us. This is then updated every three years.
- Our staff recruitment policies ensure a thorough and rigorous vetting process to verify employment and residential history, authentication of all professional qualifications and certificates.
- All staff undergo the Child Protection course provided by the Local Authority and selected staff specialise in Paediatric First Aid and behavioural management. All staff also attend the annual Early Years Conference held by the Local Authority.
- Periodic reviews are in place to identify further training and improvement to promote best practice and continued outstanding education and care. We promote a culture of ‘continuous learning.
“Staff provide high-quality support quickly and effectively, so that children make outstanding progress in all aspects of their learning and development. Children develop excellent communication skills. Staff spend a significant amount of their time playing with children, talking to them and extending their learning.” Ofsted
