Mrs Baldock

 I feel incredibly lucky to spend my days working with young children as they take their first steps in their learning journey. Creating a warm, nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and thrive is at the heart of everything I do.

A little bit about me

I love building positive relationships with children and their families, helping every child feel happy, confident and valued. Being part of those important early experiences and helping children develop a love of learning is incredibly rewarding.

My favourite thing about Early years

My favourite thing about Early Years is seeing the world through children’s eyes. Their curiosity, excitement, and sense of wonder make every day special. I love watching children grow in confidence, discover new interests, and celebrate their achievements, no matter how big or small.

I enjoy creating an environment that reflects the awe and wonder of Pre-School. Our classroom is a real home-from-home, full of warmth, colour and creativity. I want our little learners to feel inspired to explore, express their unique personalities and discover the joy of learning, while having the confidence to be themselves and flourish.

Being greeted each morning with the biggest smiles and warmest hugs. It is the loveliest way to start the day and reminds me just how special our Pre-School family is!

Qualifications and ratios

Several of our Early Years staff have been with us for over 10 years. In a sector with high turnover, that matters a lot: it means the person who settles your child in September is still there in July. 

All of our Early Years staff hold qualifications and are paediatric first aid trained. Every member of staff is DBS checked and trained in safeguarding, and we have a designated safeguarding lead.

Our full safeguarding policy is available to download.

We work to ratios of 1:5 for two-year-olds and 1:8 for three- and four-year-olds, which is the statutory requirement.
