As well as those attending college or university days to gain their qualifications, all staff will have training sessions for safeguarding children, inclusion within the setting, first aid, behaviour management, fire/health and safety and manual handling.

Staff thrive from accessing training sessions provided In house, by the NHS or Local Authority.

M enjoyed making friends and learning to play with other children.

I have been pleased that M has eaten a variety of food and learnt to sit nicely for periods of time.

All of the staff are lovely.
