Happy Mothers Day to all our Mums , Grandparents , Great Grandparents and Carers 🪻🌺🩷🌹🌼🌷🌸🌿

For National Apprenticeship Week’s Employer Tuesday, we’re proud to highlight our partnership with Huggies Day Nursery Ltd, 01782 799440, supporting students to build rewarding careers in early years education. The nursery provides play-based, child-led care for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years, including Forest School provision and is currently training apprentices Sophie Houghton and Emily Sargeant on the Level 3 Early Years Educator programme.

Pictured is Melissa Bromage, Deputy Manager, who plays a key role in mentoring apprentices, supported by Rachel Burt, General Manager, and the wider leadership team. Although the nursery has previously worked with independent training providers, this is their first time collaborating with Stoke on Trent College. They have praised the clear communication, regular updates and supportive approach from the college, which helped make the process smooth and stress-free.

Sophie hopes to secure a permanent role after gaining hands-on experience, while Emily values the opportunity to learn through practical work rather than full-time study.

🐻Thank you🐻
We would like to Thank you for your cooperation and support over the last 2 Days. We are hopeful we will be able to welcome everybody back tomorrow with our usual opening times. We will monitor the weather towards the end of the week as there is potentially another band of snow approaching but for the next 24 hours at least we will remain above freezing with no predicted snow.
Rachel, Melissa and The Girls

🐻❄️Snow update❄️🐻
We currently have only three staff who are able to make it into nursery. We are asking you to stay at home today. If we are able to operate we will be closing early for the safety of Children Parents and Staff. You will be updated with a closing time as soon as we have one. These are the roads on the estate and our car park. Thank you for you understanding

🐻❄️ Snowy Weather ❄️🐻
We have checked for the forecast and it is predicated to begin snowing at around 4 am. The roads and pavements locally are not gritted. Staff who are able to make the journey will attempt it, but as we do not yet know how hazardous this is going to be until the morning. We will not know how many staff will safely make it in. Will update you around 7 am by text message as soon as management have attempted to walk to nursery. If you can keep your child off it will be appreciated and if we are able to operate we may have to close early for the safety of all people getting home.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Rachel, Melissa and The Girls
