Our staff

The majority of the staff at Little Doves have worked with me for many years and together we have been awarded four ‘Good’ Ofsted reports. We are a strong, caring team who bring many different skills to the setting. With a lot of my staff living locally to the area it just feels like ‘one big family’.

The staff work effectively as a team to provide a positive and stimulating environment where children can develop at their own pace. There is ongoing, effective up to date training for the staff in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage 2023 guidelines.

There is a good staff to child ratio on duty at the pre-school at any one time which exceeds the minimum requirements set by Ofsted regulations. All senior members of staff hold NVQ Level 3 in Children’s Care, Learning and Development and we have above the required number of qualified staff.  Staff have certificates in:

Regular staff meetings are held in order to plan the curriculum and activities and discuss children’s progress.
