Staff Update

A staff update

Ashton Clarke has been successful in gaining a full time nursery assistant post after completing her level 2 and level 3 NVQ. Well done to Jayde Love who has completed her NVQ Level 2 in childcare and is currently undertaking her NVQ 3. Sadly she will be leaving us on Friday to become a carer.  Emma Blake has had a little boy - Charlie Blake and is now on maternity leave.  Papia Rahman has joined the preschool room on a part time basis, Papia has an early year professional status qualification.  Ebony Freeman has joined us in the 0-3 room. Ebony is NVQ level 3 qualified on a full time basis. Val Bowman is currently studying for her BA and Early Years professional status.  Ria Wright has joined us a new student and is studying her level 3.

The new Early Years Foundation Stage came into place in September 2012 for all nurseries in Ipswich and over the country.

The new EYFS highlights the 3 prime areas of learning; communication and language, physical development and personal and social emotional development. These are essential for your childs healthy development and future learning and at Wigwams Nursery in Ipswich we ensure the children have activites to support and develop these areas. These prime areas will help them develop their skills in literacy, maths, understanding the world and expressive arts. If you want to find out more there is a blue folder with a parents guide to EYFS in reception.
