Staff qualifications?

Is my child's progress monitored?

We work to a KeyWorker system which means that your child will be allocated a member of staff who will support them during their time with us. They will be responsible for your child's recording in their Early Years Foundation Stage Learning Journey which monitors your child's progress. All of the staff build a relationship with the children and families and will contribute to their profile.
