The Orchard Pre-school The Orchard has a happy team of wonderful, caring staff who have worked together for many years. Some are children of former teachers and many are parents themselves and have sent their own children to the Orchard. Our staff are highly qualified (three of our four permanent members of staff are trained to management level) and all have up-to-date first aid training. Our staff are extremely experienced in settling new children and will do everything possible to ensure that your child makes a comfortable transition to the Orchard.
