Staff

Ascott-Under-Wychwood Pre-school has experienced, caring and enthusiastic members of staff who are suitably trained with childcare qualifications or are working towards them. Staff have professional development aims and training is a vital part of the pre-school. All staff hold an up-to-date first-aid qualification, enhanced CRB checks, and have Safeguarding Children training.

Key Persons

Our pre-school uses a key person approach. This means that each member of staff has a group of children for whom they are particularly responsible. Your child’s key person will work with you to make sure that what we provide is right for your child’s particular needs and interests. When your child first starts at pre-school, they will help your child to settle. Throughout your child’s time at the pre-school, they will help your child to benefit from the pre-school’s activities.

We also have a buddy group system. Each staff member is paired up with other members of staff who act as secondary key persons when the other is away. This means that each child has their main key person and a link with another member of staff. Each member of staff is the main key person for four to six children.

Working together for your children

Our adult-to-child ratio is usually higher than set through the Welfare Requirements. We also have volunteer parent-helpers each session which enables staff to:

  • give time and attention to each child
  • talk with the children about their interests and activities
  • find and help talents to flower
  • help children to experience and benefit from all the activities we provide
  • allow the children to explore and be adventurous in safety
