Nursery Team Update

Nursery Team Update

It’s been a busy few months at the Riverside Day Nursery with several new team members joining our team.

We recently welcomed Nina to the Pre-School Room. Nina has a background in working with special educational needs (SEN) children and has grown-up children of her own.

Welcome to Nina (above) who has started in the Pre-school Room.

Elisha is also a new full-time team member working across the different nursery rooms.

We also have a new apprentice, Ella, onboard. Ella trained as a hairdresser but was keen to explore working in childcare and is currently assisting in the Older Baby Room.

Mo, a level 3 qualified childcare practitioner, has joined us a lunch cover assistant working across all the nursery rooms.

We are also delighted to welcome back Abbie. Abbie moved out of the area earlier this year but has since returned and is ably assisting us in the Older Baby Room.

Welcome back Abbie!

Welcome to Beckie, a level 3 qualified nursery practitioner with over 14 years’ experience. She is also mum to a seven-year-old. Beckie currently provides support during lunchtimes at the nursery.

Chloe, another level 3 qualified practitioner, has joined our team in the Baby Room. Chloe has three years’ childcare experience. She says the favourite aspects of her role are ‘watching the babies learn to walk’ and getting stuck in with the messy play!

Chloe

Kelly, also a level 3 qualified nursery practitioner, has been working with pre-school children for two years. She says the best bit about her job is ‘watching the children grow and learn’. Kelly lives nearby on a houseboat – something which the children love hearing about.

Jemma changed areas in August and is now leader of the Toddler Room.

Many congratulations to Cheree who gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Cruze, on 21st October. Both Mum and Baby are doing well. We can’t wait for our first cuddle!
