Staffing news

Hello everyone ,

We have some goodbyes to say soon . Emma (buttercups) will be leaving us this week to start a new job . She has been with us since leaving school in July 2010 and successfully completed SVQ II at the end of 2011. Her last day will be this Friday . We all wish you well in your new job Emma!
Kelly will now be joining the buttercups full time- she currently works Monday- Wednesday in buttercups , Thurs-Fri with the babies . We are recruiting for new staff and will let you know when we have found the right person to join us .

Next week we shall also say goodbye to our cook , Georgia , who is retiring . Georgia has been responsible for creating delicious , nutritious lunches for the Craigton children since October 2011. She is looking forward to spending time with her family , recently returned from overseas, especially her grandson. Thanks for all the lovely food Georgia!
I am happy to say though that we have a new cook starting in May . Katie is  very experienced and has previously worked in care homes as well as hotels and restaurants. She has a young baby herself , so now has an added interest in children's food and nutrition !

And there's more......... Matthew and Rachel,  4-6 assistants in the sunflowers will also be leaving at the end of this month . Both will be sitting exams in May , and are looking forward to going to university later in the year . Best of luck to you both with your studies! We will be joined by Jemma who will be our new 4-6 girl in the sunflowers . Jemma is in S4 at Cults Academy and lives in Culter - so she may well be familiar to you already .

And talking of leavers........... a reminder to those of  you who have children leaving to start P1 this year , please let us know as soon as possible which school they will be attending so we can begin the transition process . We'd also appreciate leaving dates as soon as you have them - this applies to anyone leaving to go to another setting for PS year too. And please also tell us if you're planning a summer holiday. All these need to be in writing please- email is fine( marion.barker@clns.co.uk) . Thank you .

Don't forget that the nursery will be closed on May Day - Monday 6th May
