Good evening

We just wanted to let you know that this week we have received notice that Hollie will not be returning to Rainbows Day Nursery at the end of her Maternity Leave.
Hollie has worked for the company for almost seven years, first as a deputy and then as a manager at our nursery at Hartsholme before moving to Rainbows in 2020 where she was very much involved in the renovation of the nursery.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Hollie for her hard work and loyalty and I'm sure that you will join us in wishing her and her family all the best for the future.

Amy will continue as the manager and will be joined by Shona, another employee returning from maternity leave, who has worked for the company for almost 10 years at both Heath Farm and Greetwell Hollow as a deputy and manager. Vikki will also continue in her role as deputy manager at Rainbows.

As always, if you do have any question, please do not hesitate to contact me.
