Student Placement

We recognise that the quality and variety of work which goes on in pre-school makes it an ideal place for students on placement from school and college childcare courses, as well as those on the Diploma in Pre-school Practice or Tutor Fieldworker courses.

Students are welcomed into the pre-school on the following conditions:

• The needs of the children are paramount. Students will not be admitted in numbers, which hinder the essential work of the pre-school.
• Students must be confirmed by their tutor as being engaged in a bona fide childcare course, which provides necessary background, understanding of children's development and activities.
• Students required conducting child studies would obtain written permission from the parents of the child to be studied.
• Any information gained by the students about the children, families or other adults in the pre-school must remain confidential.
• Unless registered as fit persons, students will not have unrestricted access to children.
