The Playgroup’s qualified staff hold N.V.Q. Level 3 qualifications in Child Care and Education; all staff attend regular meetings, training and First Aid courses.

We operate a keyworker system. This ensures that each member of staff has a small number of children to relate to in an individual way. We feel that the benefits of this system are enormous. Transition from home to Playgroup is made easier if there is a relationship with one special adult in the group and there is no risk of a quiet or withdrawn child being ignored. Any difficulties or anxieties encountered by a child can be spotted quickly and parents have someone specific with whom to communicate. The keyworker system does not mean that the child will only become familiar with that particular member of staff, as our setting is run by a team of practitioners who are dedicated to the care and development of all the children.
