Celebrating years of service!

Here we have our wonderful Nikki, who works in our little baby room and she is celebrating 4 years service with us.

She has such a kind and caring personality, she is always ready to give our beautiful babies lots of cuddles, she works well as part of the team and is always ready for action.

Then we have our awesome Hayley who is one of our bank staff.
As bank staff Hayley has the pleasure of working in all of rooms, but recently she has been in our toddler room helping the new children settle in and giving them all lots of hugs when they need them.
Hayley is a great team player, she’s kind, caring & passionate about the children, and we think she’s great.

A very big thank you to both Nikki & Hayley for everything they do for us!

We had to wait ages for her to certificate to come…

Please join us in congratulating our amazing Chloe in the toddler room for passing her level 3 in childcare!

We are so very proud of you Chloe, you have come so far since you joined us 5 years ago (which we are also celebrating with you this month) as an apprentice and look at you now with gaining both your level 2 and level 3 in that time.

The parents think you’re great, the children adore and we think you’re absolutely fabulous.
Thank you for everything you do for us! We’d be lost without you.

Star of the week ⭐️

This week’s star is our brilliant Faye from the preschool room.

This week we had a visit from our head office and they were so impressed by Faye’s interactions with the children, in stead of taking over their play, she joined in. She let the children lead the play, and she followed their instructions.
The children were fully engaged and Faye supported them where needed, and joined in with them rather than changing the game they were playing.

Thank you for being a part of the team ⭐️

⏰ Makaton Time ⏰

🌍 As we are focusing on around the world this week with each room exploring different countries we thought it would be best to teach them some signs that go along with it 🌍

Star of the week ⭐️

Last weeks star was our amazing April in the kitchen!

She has been managing the kitchen by herself the last few weeks while we are waiting for our new cook George to start with us.
She has done a brilliant job, making sure breakfast, snack, lunch & tea is ready every day for the children, making sure all their individual dietary requirements and allergies are being met with every meal.

You really are a star and we’d be lost without you ⭐️
