The Pre-school operates a key person system. A key person has special responsibilities for working with a small number of children.  Giving them reassurance to feel safe, cared for and building relationships with their parents.

SETTLING IN

We acknowledge that you as a parent/carer know your child best and we will work with you to support your child in the settling in process. You may wish to stay for a number of sessions until you feel confident that your child is ready to be left. We work in partnership with you and please be assured that we will always contact you if your child is unduly distressed.

​​​​MEET THE TEAM.

Hi everyone my name is Helen, I love working at Kiddiwinks Pre-school. I became involved  many years ago volunteering as a committee member. Since then I have achieved a degree in Early Years. At home I like to be in the garden, I grow marrows, runner beans, tomato's and lots more. I like to ride my bike but only when the sun is shinning. My favourite dinner is egg and chips and my favourite colours are yellow and green.


Hello My name is Debbie. I have been in the Kiddiwinks family for 24 years. I have 2 grown up daughters and 3 grandchildren who have all attended Kiddiwinks.

At home I have 2 cats, 4 guinea pigs and a cocker spaniel. I enjoy gardening, DIY and taking my grandchildren out.

My name is Joanne and I have been a key worker at Kiddiwinks for 16 years. I live with my family, my husband and my 2 grown up children. I like going out for lovely long walks, to notice all the things around us, nature is great. I like to crochet, knit and I am making a blanket at the moment.

Hi my name is Trudy.  I have been with Kiddiwinks over 20 years.  At home I enjoy cooking and I am proud to encourage the children at the setting to learn about this activity. It is a fun way to encourage different types of food which supports healthy eating. I also have a Akita/Husky dog called Lola. She is a therapy dog and we visit care homes and outside organisations. She also visits Kiddiwinks to see the children, they really enjoy Lola visiting.
