Elworth Pre-School currently employs nine members of staff consisting of a Manager, a Deputy and seven Early Years Practitioners. Six staff members currently hold a minimum of a Level 3 NVQ in Childcare.
Staff are encouraged to attend varied training courses when available to improve the running of the overall setting which have included first aid, sign language, safeguarding and food hygiene. Regular staff meetings are held to feedback information from courses and also for planning activities.
Key person
Our key person system gives each member of staff particular responsibility for just a few children. Each child in the group then has one special adult to relate to, which can help make settling in easier. In addition, the key person is in a position to tailor the curriculum to the needs of each individual child.
