Staffing news

Happy Friday to you all!

We will be having some staffing changes soon , with new staff starting soon , and others moving departments .
This is because Natalie will be starting maternity leave at the end of July , and other staff are currently undertaking qualifications , and need experience with different age groups . Natalie's last day (all being well) will be Friday 22nd July ....but don't worry as she will be back next year along with her baby :-)

From Monday 4th July , Jillian will be moving to sunflowers , Kelly to bluebells and Emma to buttercups .
Donna Sim will be joining the sunflowers as a Senior EYP from w/b 11th July . Donna worked with us some years ago where she spent time in all departments including pre-school. During her time away , she has been raising her own family , and working in school nurseries as  a bank worker.
Melissa Sinclair will be joining the snowdrops as  a nursery assistant- Melissa has just finished 6th year , and is hoping to start  her qualification very soon  . We are very pleased to welcome both to the Craigton team - please make yourselves know to them as it can take some time to get to know you all!

One of our 4-6 girls , Nicole Burnett , has now left school and will be joining the 0-2 yrs fulltime . Nicole  has been with us for 2 yrs and knows all the children well . Our other 4-6 girl, Christina Barker , will also be working fulltime over the summer , along with Jen Dornan , to cover well deserved staff holidays!

We shall also be joined at some point over the summer by Ciara Teirney , who is coming all the way from Eire to come to Craigton for work experience - our reputation for staff training is spreading!

FYI - all relief staff or those undergoing our 3 month induction , wear the old uniforms . This is not meant to confuse you , but to make it easier for you to identify the more experienced staff who are the ones to talk to if you need any information .

My email has improved , but is still a little temperamental, but I have been assured it will be sorted very soon . Thank you for your patience here - its been a frustrating time ! Whilst on that subject , I shall be on leave from Monday 11th July to Friday 22nd July incl. Emails will not be answered during the time - please call the nursery if you have any requests or need to tell us anything. Also , if you wish to make any cash payments , please wait  til my return on Monday 25th July - the staff are unable to accept cash  - thank you .

PLEASE NOTE : The nursery will be closed on Monday 11th July for the local holiday .

And finally - a reminder to please fold up your child's buggy if you are leaving it here - it makes it very difficult to enter and exit the schoolhouse when the conservatory is full of buggies - thank you .

I hope you all have  a lovely weekend - Im told we should have some sun:-)
