North Hinksey CEPrimary School
Our Staff
Our staff are passionate about working with children, and are fascinated by how children learn. They value all children as individuals, wanting to support them in developing their skills, whilst watching and supporting their growth within an environment outside the home. They strive to make a difference to both children and their families, through building strong relationships with parents and other practitioners, building a community around our setting. Staff view their role as helping children move through to whatever their next stage is, whether it's school, another setting or just ready for life!

- The key person can easily tailor the curriculum to the unique needs of each individual child.
- Parent and carer contact is focused on one member of staff, so allowing a better link to the home setting.
- All Key persons have a buddy to support children in the instance of staff absence.
