Our Staff
Our staff are chosen because they love children, are friendly, experienced and, most of all, are passionate about excellent childcare.
Whilst each team member knows all the children in our care, your child will have the support of an individual member of staff who will be their key worker throughout their journey with Little Bugs Childcare (someone who is their ‘turn to’ adult). This team member ensures your child settles in quickly and builds close relationships with your child and yourself.
Professional staff
Little Bugs Childcare recognises the quality of staff is key and is committed to the highest levels of staff development. The team is qualified to Level 3 in Early Years education and furthermore some members of staff have relevant degrees. Staff attend courses to ensure they’re up to date with childcare legislation, Paediatric First Aid, Safeguarding, Basic Food Hygiene etc. They may also choose to specialise in areas of particular interest such as Special Educational Needs.

I’m very proud of the passionate and caring team we have here.'
