Staff
All of our staff members are fully qualified and experienced Early Years Educators; knowing that the first and most important step is getting to know your child well and developing an approachable, supportive and trusting relationship.
They are dedicated to the principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS); using a carefully planned curriculum in order to enhance each child’s own individual progression through structured and free-choice learning objectives.
Each staff member has a down-to-earth and ‘common sense’ approach when it comes to helping little ones learn the important aspects of British values; all of them having had children of their own and possessing a high level of understanding with regards to the many ethical values, beliefs and principles that apply in real life.
