The Head Teacher, Deputy Head Teacher, Senior Teacher & Nursery Teachers each have a degree in Early Years Education and a number of years experience in teaching very young children. All three teachers are passionate about learning and teaching and offer a rich curriculum for the children.

Two qualified teachers in the nursery deliver learning experiences for children who are 3 years plus, in an Intergrated Unit and work alongside the Senior Teacher who leads learning. Many of the Early Years Practitioners have gained a Level 4/Level3 NVQ recognised qualification in Childcare, Learning and Development and have many years experience of working with nursery children.

The Early Years Foundation Stage Principles aim to develop children’s understanding, knowledge attitudes and skills in all areas of learning. The Early Years Foundation Stage focuses on learning, development and care of children from birth to five years
