We are sad to be losing Rebecca Rohr from Snowleopards next week, as she has a new job with the local authority which she will be moving on to. Rebecca has been a fantastic lead in the nursery and prior to that, a brilliant TA in Panda and Tiger classes. We will really miss her as part of the staff team and wish her every success with her next venture. We hope to fill this role with a permanent member of staff from January. Up until then, the position will be filled by Liz Leese. Liz and Fran have previously worked together at Baschurch delivering forest school sessions. Liz is a qualified teacher, a forest school leader and has extensive experience in nurseries. We look forward to welcoming her to Myddle.

In January, when Mrs McGrath begins her maternity leave, Claire Mayle, the current teaching assistant in Panda class, will be teaching Panda class Mondays-Wednesdays, alongside Mrs Turner who will be doing Thursdays and Fridays.  Claire is also a qualified teacher – we feel very lucky to have such high calibre staff in our Early Years here at Myddle! We have appointed Liz Leese to be Panda’s teaching assistant when Mrs Mayle starts teaching. They have also worked together before at Baschurch Pre-school, so should help everyone settle into their new roles nicely.

In summary:

Snowleopards: Monday 21st Nov – January: Liz Leese and Fran Jones (Fridays – Clare Evans and Fran Jones)

January 2023 – new permanent nursery lead and Fran Jones

Pandas:            January until end of maternity – Mrs Mayle / Mrs Turner  (Teachers) and Liz Leese  (TA)
