There is lots of exciting news this week!

Congratulations to Leanne who has been promoted to Room senior of the Bluebells team. Leanne will be working with Donna, the room leader and Rose and Sophie. The role of the room senior is to run the room in the Room Leaders absence.

Joining the Buttercup team is Rebecca who starts with us next week. Rebecca has lots of experience working with children and has a level 2 childcare qualification. 

Congratulations to Chloe who has passed her level 3 childcare qualification!!

If you have any questions about the staff teams please talk to Caroline.

 

The Nursery will be closed on Monday for the bank holiday but will be open as normal next Tuesday.

 
This week’s activities

Each key person will be responsible for designing an activity based on their key children’s needs; however, all children who are in on that day will have the opportunity to access the activity too.

If the key person is on holiday or off, another staff member will be able to lead the activity in their place so that the children do not miss out.
