Happy World Book Day! Have a wonderful day sharing stories! 📚

A huge thank you to the wonderful Ray Jarvis! It’s always a pleasure to see Ray, and we were thrilled to catch up with him recently to thank him for his incredible ongoing support of our events for children.

As part of our ‘giving back’ from our Christmas special events, Ray has nominated North Warwickshire First Responders to receive a £100 donation.

We couldn’t be happier to support such a vital local service.

Thank you, Ray, for your generosity and for helping us give back to those who keep our community safe! 🙌

An amazing opportunity for local young people. Get involved, get trained and go conquer the world! 🎵

What a lovely surprise! The Tots' Clubhouse Nursery School
This recognition is a testament to the incredible culture of mentorship and growth within our team. Our Apprenticeship programmes are more than just training; they are a vital asset to everyone’s professional development, and that’s all thanks to our people.

Our staff team has gone above and beyond to support one another, ensuring every apprentice has the guidance and encouragement they need to thrive.

A huge well done to the entire team for making this possible. Let’s keep growing together! 🚀

We are seeking a talented and passionate Level 3 (or above) qualified educator to join our amazing team. We need someone who is energetic, dedicated and creative, and can work flexibly.
Working hours would include early starts (7.30am) and late finishes (5pm) a few days a week. Working during some of the school holidays and some weekends. We are open 47 weeks a year. We are looking for someone with a different kind of spark and who needs a fresh start to their work-life balance working in childcare.

Get in touch if you'd like to know more and to let us know what skills and experience that you can offer.

Some interview questions:
How would you turn a simple nature walk into an outdoor adventure?
Where would you take the children on a trip - to the Zoo or to the park?
Do you have a gift for teaching in a fun way and keeping little minds engaged?
How would you make a baby smile by singing songs?
Would you hold a newly hatched chicken and feed it corn?
Do you know your river birds and woodland insects?

We offer the National Living Wage plus our extensive benefits package.

🎓 5 Apprenticeships 💰 £56,000+ in funding. ✨ 1 Incredible Goal: Outstanding Childcare.

A huge thank you to T. J. Morris (Home Bargains) for the Apprenticeship Levy transfer to our Nursery School! We’ve just secured £56k in funding which means five of our wonderful team members, including Becky, Keely, Natalie, Cherie and Abigail are starting their next professional qualifications this week!

Many of our team balance work, studying, and raising their own families. This funding and a team approach removes the barriers to learning and allows them to grow into the leaders we know they are.

Better trained staff = even better care for your little ones. We are so proud of our team for "leading by example"!
Thank you, Home Bargains, for believing in us! 🙌

Car Accident Old Holly Lane - Boxing Day evening 🚓

If you were involved in the accident, please contact the Police. The Police need to do an urgent welfare check. 🚓

This is the 4th car accident in December that I’ve posted about. Please see my other posts. After 40years of constantly picking-up the pieces of drivers - screams from the field, giving first aid, Police at our door gathering information about drivers and reporting accidents - enough is enough!

Stop giving out the wrong address when you crash! Tell the Police it’s *Old Holly Lane, Atherstone Place, CV9 2HD*.

Please drive slowly along Old Holly Lane and Sheepy Road. Accidents are happening daily due to speed, the wet weather and mud. AND NOW ICE! 🧊 AND FLOODING! 💦

Bloor Homes have a road cleaning schedule. But, if you are concerned about the mud on the road, call their customer service line: 01827 302020.

Road signs on the bend of Old Holly Lane keep being knocked down. If you are concerned about the signs/road (or knock one down), call Warwickshire Highways on: 01926 412515.

If you crash, please call the Police 999 so that the accident is recorded.

Appreciate that you might not have insurance, be in the middle of a heist, or somewhere you shouldn't be!

The bend at Old Holly Lane has been a 40 year issue and will continue to be an issue as there are no plans to change it. Cllrs, Highways, Atherstone folk and everyone who should know, knows! Though, this doesn't stop the 2am screams from the field! Please avoid crashing into the field and hedge! Drive carefully.

BIG thumbs up to Waitrose & Partners for their delicious non-alcoholic mulled punch! It’s was good to try this with all of our visitors this year. Really good smooth flavour (not so bitter!). 🍷
