 Staff

 

We have 3 regular members of staff, all have been at Albourne Under 5s for many years and are experienced childcare providers. As a small team all staff get to know and build relationships with all children. 

Our staff all hold Childcare qualifications, are DBS checked and hold a First Aid Certificate. 

We are all parents so understand how hard it can be to leave your children with someone new. We are all local, have had our children at the pre school as well as at Albourne School.  

In addition to our regular staff we have a team of Helpers we use as required.

Albourne Under Fives was set up in 1978 by  local mum Sue whose toddler coffee mornings with friends outgrew their front rooms and she looked for a bigger space. Albourne Under Fives was born! After 38 years Sue retired and Tina and Eve who had both worked with Sue for years, then took over the running.
