All of our staff have significant experience of working with children and undertake professional development training. All staff members are DBS checked. Every session we have a First Aid qualified member of staff. We maintain a voluntary staff/child ratio of 1:15 which is well within the latest statutory requirements but is a service standard we set ourselves.
Our staffing strategy is to follow experience, that is parenting experience and childcare and education experience, Jane brings this in spades to our childcare business, we are very fortunate to have secured her participation, we hope you’ll support us all wholeheartedly.
