Our Team
Our experienced and caring team are what makes our pre-school wonderful.
All of our team are dedicated and qualified in working with pre-school aged children. They all live in our local communities and most are mums themselves. Your child will be allocated a key person to help them settle in, help make them feel secure and record their development.
