Tick Tocks Staff Information

All the staff at Tick Tocks have or are working towards their childcare qualifications. They are all dedicated to providing a happy, safe and secure environment and help to maintain high standards of care by regularly attending training courses such as Child Protection, First Aid, Equal Opportunities, Birth to Three Matters and Foundation Stage planning.

Sometimes Tick Tocks will have student helpers within the nursery as practical experience for their Child care courses. They will be supervised by a member of staff at all times.

Tick Tocks Keyworkers

Our Keyworker system will give each member of staff particular responsibility for just a few children. Each child in the group will have one special adult to relate to – this can make settling into the group very much easier. In addition, the Keyworker is in a position to tailor the group’s curriculum to the unique needs of each individual child. The Keyworker maintains links with the child’s home setting, working with the parents through shared record keeping to ensure that all children are supported in reaching their full potential.
