All staff hold a nationally recognized Early Years Qualification and attend a wide range of training courses to develop their breadth of knowledge and so improve the quality of child care within the setting. All staff have completed Safeguarding Children courses and all hold their First Aid certificate. The staff at Leesfield Pre-School are truly committed to the continuous improvement of the child care we provide and to these ends the majority of our training is completed unpaid during evening or weekends.
Each child will be allocated a staff member as their key-person.
Our key-person system provides:
- Assistance with settling into pre-school.
- Close monitoring of a child's progress in all areas of development.
- A personal contact for parent/carers, although all staff are available for communication.
- Knowledge of a particular child's needs when planning the curriculum.
- A small group of children for each key-person to monitor.
