Staff
We have a small team of dedicated child-care professionals at Dunholme Pre-School that make sure all children are supported and cared for throughout their time with us. Our staff are always happy to speak with parents on an individual basis, and we will tell you as soon as you start who your child’s dedicated Key Person is so that you can liaise with them about your child.
We always aim to exceed the ‘Early Years Foundation Stage Welfare Requirements’ in regards to the childcare qualifications our staff are required to hold, and we are committed to developing staff and supporting them to access further qualifications.
