At Willaston Pre-school, our team are professional, qualified, experienced carers of children, combining a wealth of practical experience, knowledge and skills with a caring, friendly approach. All of our qualified team are paediatric first aiders.
Each child is allocated a key person, whose role is to act as a point of contact for parents and to help your child settle in and track their progress and development, by planning individualised activities to suit your child’s needs. We provide high staff to children ratios, so that your children are well supported and cared for.
