Our staff are by far our most valuable asset
We consider our staff to be the greatest success factor for providing cutting-edge Early Childhood Education. It is they who live out our ethos and develop the supportive relationships required to guide our young children, day-in day-out, on their crucial ‘whole child’ development journeys.Individualised approach
Our teachers, with strong support from our teaching assistants, look at each pupil in our care to see what makes them tick and then plan how to deliver our curriculum in an exciting way according to these specific interests.
Their in-depth knowledge of each child also enables them to successfully seize on any opportunities for intervention and positive influence, in line with the developmental sensitivity periods through which each child goes in their very own, individual way.
