We encourage all staff to continue their professional development as well as gaining qualifications in early years care and education.

The pre-school staff take part in mandatory training as required by Ofsted, to help them keep up-to-date on all aspects of childcare from fire safety, first aid to child protection and specific training around the Early Years Foundation Stage principles.

This may mean that the pre-school could be closed for training and development INSET days, but notice is given in advance.
