Meet Our Team
Our staff are passionate about what they do and are dedicated to helping children learn and develop during those all-important formative years. Collectively, we share the same deep commitment and passion for early years development. A number of staff have benefitted from Elklan training and are Beckside’s Communication Champions. They promote Speech, Language and Communication development for ALL children within the setting by sharing and implementing the knowledge, skills and tools that they have learnt from Elklan training.
