Experienced and Qualified Practitioners

We expect, encourage and support all our staff to continue their own learning and development and ensure staff have in-depth knowledge and understanding gained through continuing professional development and higher level qualifications. We also consider it essential that staff must have the skills, knowledge and enthusiasm to observe, scaffold and plan for children’s learning effectively, identifying and meeting any additional needs. 

We work with Crackerjack Training and Learning Direct to offer staff NVQ Level 2 and Level 3 in Children’s Care, Learning and Development and Management qualifications. We also work in partnership with Birmingham Early Years to access a range of courses including mandatory courses such as First Aid, Food Hygiene and Safeguarding as well as Continuous Professional Development courses such as Letters and Sounds and Behaviour Management. In addition to this Little Robins runs a range of in-house training. Little Robins also has our own Employee website where staff can read and review the latest theories on childcare, safeguarding and a whole range of child related information. This means we are able to keep staff up to date with the current ‘best practice’ and therefore delivering quality childcare to the children in our care.
