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 team are fully qualified as 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 activities to suit your child’s needs. We provide high staff to children ratios, so that your children are well supported and cared for.

We have a trained Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator and a member of staff who monitors behaviour.
