We’ve got plenty in the pipeline, including our big event on 26th September and an exciting new partnership with The Foyer Aberdeen… and that’s just the start.

Oh — and Sarah is delighted because it’s finally pumpkin season 🎃✨

We are all looking forward to cosy vibes, and a brilliant few months ahead!

✨Candidate of the Month ✨

A huge congratulations to Misha-Bee Meldrum from Hoodles Childcare, our Candidate of the Month for August! ✨

Misha’s work and attitude towards her SVQ have been outstanding from start to finish. Throughout her qualification, she has demonstrated excellent knowledge, commitment, and professionalism. She consistently goes above and beyond, carrying out thorough research and producing reflective accounts of an exceptionally high standard across all areas of her learning.

Misha’s warm, nurturing nature shines through in everything she does. She has built positive relationships with the children in her care, and it is clear that their wellbeing and development are always at the heart of her practice.
We are incredibly proud of all that Misha has achieved and the dedication she has shown throughout her SVQ journey.

Well done, Misha, and thank you for being such a fantastic example of excellence in childcare!

✨ Team Cairn’s Guilty Pleasures ✨

Because behind the hard work is a little treat that keeps them going.

💛 Kirsty
Condensed milk & raspberries (don’t knock it till you try it), reading in peace, a glass of w**e, the joy of an uninterrupted admin day, and a stay in a bougie hotel that makes her feel like she’s living her best life.

🌿 Nicola
Working from the sofa like it’s a lifestyle choice, podcasts and audiobooks on the road to visits, long dog walks, the bliss of watching her favourite shows in total peace, and a bit of therapeutic gardening.

☕ Sarah
Working from Starbucks, telling absolutely anyone who’ll listen about her runs, Zara hauls that arrive too often, thin‑stemmed glasses (if you know, you know), and a soft spot for Danny Dyer.

📊 Naomi
Lego builds that get far too serious, a beautifully organised spreadsheet, ticking off her to‑do list, browsing ASPC for houses she’ll never buy, and secretly loving a cancelled appointment.

What’s your Guilty pleasure? ✨🫶🏻

✨What Gives Our Assessors the Ick When It Comes to SVQ Coursework?✨

We asked our assessors what makes them sigh when reviewing SVQ portfolios... and here are the top answers:

• Missing PC & K points
• Criteria placed in the wrong section
• Recommended reading not completed
• Leaving work until the last minute
• Not submitting work at all

The good news? Every one of these can be avoided.
Remember, we’re always here to help, answer questions, and keep you on track. If you’re stuck, unsure, or need a bit of guidance, just send us a message. We’d much rather help along the way than see you struggle in silence.

Let’s keep those portfolios assessor-approved and the icks to a minimum.
