Our Staff
The Puffin team have been together for a long time and we are lucky enough to have had very low staff turnover- our deputy manager, Eleni, has been here more than 18+ years! Most of our staff started out as parents themselves, but all have now worked their way up to get qualifed. Our manager, Tracy, is a qualified Early Years Teacher and we regularly support students from Brighton City College, Brighton and Chichester Universities through placements at our setting.
