We aim for a high adult to child ratio.
– All staff are Paediatric First Aid trained
– All staff hold Level 2 Food Hygiene

At least four staff are present at all sessions. We welcome the extra help of parent volunteers whenever possible. The staff regularly attend training courses to update their educational and professional skills such as Child Protection, Health & Safety and First Aid. All staff are First Aid trained.
Key Person
When your child starts at Birchanger Butterflies Preschool you will sit with your allotted key person and will go through your paper work together, this will be the time where your child’s key person will start to get to know your child. You may like to use your child’s key person as a point of contact but please feel free to chat with any member of staff about your child at any time.
