Team Changes

I would like to announce some changes to our team which will be happening over the next few weeks. Unfortunately, we do have some staff who will be leaving us before Christmas but we also have some new staff joining our team.

Firstly, we will be losing Shelly Collins, Room Leader of Tiny Todd’s who will be taking another path in her a career to become a Nanny.  Shelley’s last day with us will be Wednesday 14th December 2011.

Also leaving us at the end of the year is Rea Walshe, Imogen Murton and Sammy Buckley. All of whom are hoping to take a different path in their career or a career change.

We would like to thank all of these staff for their length of service and hard work that they have put into the nursery and wish them every success in their new ventures.

Due to the nursery experiencing a quieter time of the year due to our school leavers, we do not need to replace all of these staff at this time. However, in preparation for these changes, we are actively looking at recruiting and working with our sister nursery on fulfilling these positions in addition to internal interviews for supervisor’s that will be taking place over the next couple of weeks.

Firstly, Karen Cain who currently works as our caterer has expressed an interest in working directly with the children so Karen will be leaving her Catering duties behind to join our team in the 0-2’s unit. Karen will be working Tuesday – Thursday, 9.30am – 2.30pm which covers our busiest time of the day. And of course all of the children are very familiar with Karen as they see her on a daily basis.

Also, joining us from CherryField Nursery is Angie Bateson. Angie is level 3 qualified and is a very loyal and committed member of staff who has worked with the company for 1 year now. Angie has an excellent rapport with both children and parents which was shown in her recent parent’s award. Angie will initially join Fran in the Toddler room from 1st January 2012.

We also have Amanda Dinnadge joining our team. Amanda is unqualified however has experience in childcare being a mother of two young children herself. Amanda will initially join us part time but hopes to gradually increase her hours and join our diploma program in June to gain a qualification. Amanda will be joining our 2-5’s unit and starts with us week commencing 5th December 2011.

At the end of January, we will be welcoming back Clemy Fordery from her maternity leave, who will continue her role in a Room Leader position.

We do understand that losing team members can have an impact on the children, however, we will endeavour to see that all of these changes are managed efficiently to ensure a smooth transition for both our children and parents.

Over the next 2 weeks we will be interviewing for potential supervisors to put into position from the 1st January 2012. Once this decision has been made we will be able to advise you more on who will be joining your child’s room. You will also be informed and have the opportunity to meet with your new Child Development Supporter if there is a change. We always aim to make any CDS changes with as minimal disruption to the children as possible by ensuring that they are in a group with children and staff with whom they are familiar with to enable a smoother transition.

If you have any questions regarding any of these staff changes, then please do not hesitate to come and speak to myself or Katie.
