Qualified Playleaders
We have a team of staff who are qualified to Level 2, Level 3, or NNEB in Childcare related subjects. These staff work across the setting throughout the week. Our qualified staff work closely with our EYFS children, and help our Senior Level 3 Playleader to carry out observations on EYFS children who use our wrap-around care throughout the year.
We also currently have two staff who are in training, working towards their Level 3, who assist with carrying out observations and activities alongside the rest of the staffing team.
Playleaders & Trainee Playleaders
We have a team of Playleaders and Trainee Playleaders who work throughout the week. Most of our Playleaders are at school or college themselves, and they work one or two nights per week. They work with our other staff to look after the children in our setting and help to plan activities, as well as preparing tea.
