Katie, Under 2's Room Leader  

When I began to work for JCN, the most dedicated and friendliest staff welcomed me!
It is clear that every person in the Under twos team and management team that I have worked with so far, were and still are very passionate about their job role and how it can make a difference to the children and babies day to day life.
Whether this is through enabling a stimulating environment to celebrating the unique child, for the three plus years I have worked at JCN I have been presented with great opportunities to further my understanding as a practitioner and stretching myself creatively as every day is different in this job! JCN have also supported me through career progression as well as such great support particularly when the pandemic began.
2020 became quite challenging since the first national lockdown due to Covid-19. The JCN committee and management have been Pro-staff throughout and the parents met us with such understanding. Also the under 2’s team who I work alongside became like family to create a safe and enabling place within the setting full of creativity despite the uncertainty and restrictions nationally put in place for our safety.
My favourite thing about working with children at JCN is seeing the children be creative, resilient and imaginative for no two days are the same!
