At St Joseph's Pre-school we have some long established and experienced staff on our team.

There are fourteen staff in total who work with the children. Most staff work part-time but there is usually eight staff per session working with the children and one on non-contact time, which means we have a higher than standard staff to children ratio. We also have volunteers who help/work at the setting plus an Admin Assistant and our Cleaner/Caretaker who also assists with lunch time supervision.

The Centre Manager is full time, qualified to level 6 and has Early Years Professional Status. The Pre-school Manager has her Level 6. Nearly all other staff are qualified to level 2 or 3 or working towards higher qualifications too.

​

The Centre Manager is Mrs Cathy Williamson and the Pre-school Manager is Mrs Joanne Duffy.

​

All staff undertake regular training including Paediatric First Aid, Food Hygiene, Health and Safety, Learning Language and Loving It, and other Learning and Development courses, as well as regular In-service Training days. Two staff  also have Level 3 Forest School Leader certificates.
