Clair helps the children, and their families, who may have Special Educational Needs. This involves working with other professional agencies, staff, the children and their families, all for the benefit of the children. Clair is also a champion of Raising Early Achievement in Literacy, (REAL). Clair has organised training for parents interested in early literacy, every parent on the course has said how useful this was with helping them, to help their children, with early literacy skills. This also involves organising workshops for parents and events for children and their families once every term. We have had amazing feedback from all who attended.

Liz joined the team in September 2020 as a learning support practitioner following two years with us as a student. Liz decided on a career change from veterinary nursing after her daughter attended the pre-school. After developing a passion for child development Liz retrained and in early 2020 graduated from the University of Worcester with a foundation degree in Early Years. Liz loves to encourage the children to learn through play and particularly enjoys supporting their development in mathematics. Liz is artistic and enjoys creating resources for our displays and activities.
