Peace of mind
YMCA East Surrey is a leading provider of under 5’s activities and out of school childcare, priding ourselves on our inclusive practice. All staff undergo an enhanced DBS check and regularly attend courses to update themselves and keep on top of changing policies. We have staff with specific experience in supporting children with a range of disabilities and learning requirements. Staff ratios are 1:4 for 2-3 years olds and 1:8 for 3-5 year olds in pre-school year.
I would highly recommend this preschool. The staff are amazing and my son loves going in every day. It's got such a welcoming feel and nothing is never too much for the staff. My son has come on so much with his speech and is making so many new friends that he comes out of his day always smiling and can't wait to tell everyone what he has done for the day. I love looking at his online journal to see the pictures of all the children having fun.
