Sophie has also spent most of her time working with the under 3’s. Sophie is genuinely dedicated to childcare; not only is she nurturing but Sophie has a positive and fun nature which is welcomed by all the children. Both Jess and Sophie moving from the baby room across to busies gave them a deeper knowledge of the children who are also transitioning to Busies and will be a familiar face to children and their families.

Jemma

Jemma began with us back in 2019 and immediately shone within our setting. During the pandemic Jemma’s excellent leadership skills, calm manner and her ability to take everything thrown at her, in her stride, has proved beyond doubt that she is the perfect fit for this role.

A big part of her role in Pre-School is ensuring that the children are ready and transition happy to school.

Supporting parents in this role is just as important as well as liaising with teachers from all of the schools our children are going to attend.

Emily and Emilia have been at Woodlands since 2022. Emily joined us after completing her Level 2 at college, bringing fresh skills and ideas to the team. Emilia joined as a Nursery Assistant supporting our key workers in their day-to-day roles and has now completed her level 3.

Both Emily and Emilia, over that time, went from strength to strength, building relationships with families, the children, and the team, and they gained a wealth of knowledge and experience. Emily and Emilia have grown close in friendship and continue to improve the running of the under-3s. They are fun and positive team players. Their dedication to the children shines through their practice, and they are great role models for the team.
