Staff to child ratio Staff to child ratio
We are very proud of the high ratio of adults to children in our group.
Legal requirements demand one adult for every eight children. We operate on a ratio of at least
one staff member for every six children in our afternoon sessions (for the younger children). Morning sessions (for the older children) operate on a ratio of
one member of staff for every seven children and we will not alter this even if changes in the law allow us to.
Furthermore, subject to parental help through the parents' rota, the ratio of adults to children is often even better, enabling us to give more individual attention to the needs and development of each child.
Staff
The regular staff in our group are:
Special Educational Needs
In common with all pre-schools we have an InCo.
Our InCo is Katie Hardy
Training
All supervisors and deputy supervisors have formal early education and childcare qualifications and the pre-school is committed to the on-going training of all members of staff as required.
In addition, our membership of the Pre-School Learning Alliance ensures that we are constantly in touch with new thinking in the field of child education and care. We receive a monthly magazine offering practical advice and up-to-date information, and have access to a range of professionally produced publications.
