The Staff

Our friendly, experienced and committed staff hold a range of qualifications in early years education. They are experienced in caring for children with differing degrees of educational needs as well as any with educational needs as well as special needs. We have a member of staff appointed as the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO). Every effort is made to ensure that all children, whatever their needs, are to participate fully in pre-school activities.

All our staff keep their mandatory training of basic first aid, food and hygiene and safeguarding children courses up to date. They also undertake a number of additional professional courses designed to help keep Ladybirds Pre-School’s practice up to date and continually develop their skills.
