Our SENDco Verity has recently been and completed her level 2 makaton training.
Verity is going to use this all around the setting with the children and staff.
We have put this on our newsfeed which we use to communicate with our parents / carers daily, so they can complete this at home too with the children.
What a wonderful and exciting opportunity Verity has bought to the setting.
We are so very lucky to have her 🩷

Every month we ask our staff, parents and carers to vote for who they think deserves employee of the month.
Adriana was voted for employee of the month for May because...
-Adriana is the most hardworking person I know, she gives it her all every day and creates amazing activities.
-Adriana helps with anything she possibly can!
-Adriana is always friendly and helpful. Feels like the work mother!
-She always makes sure activities are prepared.
-Adriana does great handovers and listens to parent feedback really carefully so we the children are being really well cared for. She also takes times to share lots of photos with us so we can see the progress of our child and the fun activities they do in preschool.
-She always gives a really good handover and is really balanced about the good things about the children’s day but also any challenging behaviour and is really clear and reasoned when talking to the children about anything they shouldn’t be doing
For winning employee of the month Adriana will recieve an extra half a days holiday and a £50 voucher!
