Who we are

The development and training of our practitioners is something that we take very seriously at the Ark. After all, we recognise that those who are going to be entrusted with your loved ones need to be fully in touch with the latest developments in childcare and Early Years Education.

Three members of our team hold Early Years degrees and two have achieved their Early Years Professional Status. We ensure that all other permanent members are qualified to a minimum of Level 3.

All staff have undergone paediatric first-aid training and three members of staff are trained in Special Educational Needs. Recent courses attended include: Fun on the Floor; Developing Emotional Resilience; Beginning with Babies; Forest School and Superhero Play, and Totem Pole.

It goes without saying that all our staff are CRB/DBS checked.
