New Bank Staff - Lydia Ellis We would like to welcome Lydia to the 22SLN Team who will be working as bank staff. Lydia will be working across all of our rooms in the nursery to cover staff holidays, sickness and to provide additional support. Lydia is currently studying Children and Families at Leeds Beckett University. We look forward to welcoming Lydia to the team!

“I am currently studying part-time for a BA (Hons) degree in ‘Working with Children, Young People and Families’ at Leeds Beckett University, and have over 4 years’ experience working with young children in different primary schools and nursery settings. I also spent a short time teaching in a school over in Uganda last summer, it was an eye-opening experience and it was great to see the importance of education across the world. In my spare time I enjoy going to the cinema, cooking and spending time with friends and family. I also now volunteer in a community centre as a youth worker.I look forward to joining the 22 Street Lane Nursery team and will aim to work together with the rest of the staff in our mission to give every child the best possible start in life!”

NoodleNow! Staff Training Package We have recently purchased a training package called ‘NoodleNow!’ so that the staff can continue their professional development and undertake training of their interest throughout the year. Many of the staff are well on the way completing courses such as Safeguarding, Biting, Behaviour Management and many more!

October Team Training Day - Change of Date We have decided to change the October Team Training day which is currently Friday 30th October to Thursday 20th October. This is because the with the Early May Bank Holiday falling a Friday this year along with Good Friday, we realise that the Friday children will be affected more than others. Please Note: Our Summer training day is on Wednesday 3rd June Thank you for your understanding.
