Staff

We aim for a high adult to child ratio.

– All staff are Paediatric First Aid trained
– All staff hold Level 2 Food Hygiene
– All staff are DBS checked

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.

Every week the key person records your child’s achievements on a secure online Learning Journal, this also includes photographs and comments made by the child.

Parents and carers are encouraged to add comments and photographs of events that happen at home.

As well as Pre-School you are the only person/people to have access to your child’s Learning Journal. With your permission the records are finally passed on to your child’s next school in the form of a report.
