About the Employer
It takes a village to raise a child – a wonderful saying that beautifully captures how an entire community of people must interact with children for them to experience and grow in a safe and healthy environment. After becoming a mum in 2013, our director, Helen, joined a generation of mothers juggling career and mum life. A careful balancing act which led her to discover that, without the support of others, life was going to be a real struggle. Since then her family has grown and she found the need to lean on the local community more and more, bringing her to where she is today – recreating a much-loved community child care setting. In October 2023 Jiminy Cricket, a 40-year-old setting closed and the wonderful team who have helped care for so many local children were no longer there to support us. An increasingly common and sad situation for smaller independent settings these days. So here we are, reinventing a much loved local setting for families, creating an environment that aims to nurture and care for the children of the village in the way we were always meant to… and what a privilege that is.
