We are very fortunate to have three wonderful bank staff members who regularly support our preschool: Emma, Ling and Julie. They are a valued asset to our team and play an important role in the day-to-day running of the setting.

Emma, Ling and Julie work closely with both staff and children, they love getting to know the children, building positive relationships, and supporting their learning through play. Their flexibility, dedication and friendly approach help ensure continuity of care and a familiar, welcoming atmosphere for everyone at preschool.
