Who’s Who

The St Thomas’s staff team comprises highly qualified, committed and focused practitioners. All meet the training and development requirements set down by the EYFS, and all are up to date with First Aid and Child Protection policies. They are fully trained in every aspect of play (including sand and water), and encourage the children to become engaged and independent. Inset days are provided, and include a combination of on-premises and external training, in order to foster progressive strategies for encouraging children to want to find out for themselves.
