Our Team

CAREFULLY CHOSEN TEAM

We aim to have the very best quality people at Kids College. We go above and beyond the normal ratios and qualifications requirements. We have a room head teacher for each age group (with some age groups having two group leaders to help ease the work load and create a better quality care for children) and fantastic quality assistants in each room. We do have a number of positions that allow us access to only the staff we know and love very well to take over shifts in cases where staff members fall ill or are on leave.

This ensures we have adequate staffing numbers all the time and at no time do we have strangers in our centre. All staff here are part of the Kids College team and are trained and inducted in Kids College procedures and Policies. We believe this enhances the continuity of care  for the children to be looked after by someone who knows them and the centre very well. It also reassures our parents we are doing the best by their children and continuing their learning every day. Parents also need to recognise the educators who look after their children and build that trust needed to leave your child with someone they feel comfortable with. It is worth the extra time, money and effort to create the best quality staff team.
