Jack and Jill’s staff are all qualified or working towards CACHE level 3 or equivalent and all attend regular training courses and sessions to ensure their skills are current and to enable them to constantly broaden their knowledge.

All staff members are subject to full DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) or CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) checks.

The team at Jack and Jill’s is comprised of a board of volunteer Trustee Directors, a full time Pre-School Manager and a team of qualified teaching assistants.

Overall direction and policy making is the responsibility of the Board, while “day-to day” running of the pre-school and facilitation of sessions is the responsibility of our manager and key persons respectively.

The Key Person System

Each child within our school is assigned a dedicated key person who will continually observe and assess their development. This enables us to plan fun and challenging activities to promote development and learning around your child’s individual interests. We know this approach really does result in high quality care and development for your child.

Ratios of Staff To Children

We are proud of the high ratio of key workers to children in our pre-school. This ensures greater attention to the developmental needs of each child. We believe our staff are fantastic and they were very highly praised during our last inspection by Ofsted.
