Our Team of staff
At Playmates we realise we are only as effective as our team of staff
Gail - Pre-school Manager
Roles: Enrollment, invoices, queries, payments, Safer Recruitment Officer.
Length of service: 20+ years
We have 2 degree level practitioners across the Setting with qualifications in Early Years and Education.
Our senior staff have years of experience and dedication to ensure we continue to offer the best childcare and education. Our Team work closely to ensure we are offering stimulating activities to support children's learning.
We recruit qualified employees who share our vision of providing the very best for the children in preparation for primary school. All keyworkers and senior practitioners hold at least a level 3 in childcare.
Staff are offered continual professional development in their area(s) of interest as well as core training.
Each Setting is required to have a designated safeguarding lead (we have 3 fully trained DSLs).
Settings are also required to have a designated special educational needs and disabilities co-ordinator (we have 2 SEND-Co-ordinators).
​
This is because we realise the importance of ensuring our Team has the support of their colleagues when dealing with challenging situations. By sharing the responsibility our staff do not get overloaded with referrals and seeking outside agencies to support our families. This also leaves our keyworkers free to listen to and teach the children through a safe and stimulating environment within the Setting.
​
All staff are qualified in paediatric first aid, fire safety and our senior staff have food hygiene certification.
