These lovely pictures are from our Hessle nursery!

We are continuing to deliver "Setting Up a Nursery" courses possibly the last one 15th November for this year. The course attracts people from all over the country such as Birmingham and London. They are not only impressed with our nursery but with Hull as well. We are doing a one day seminar in November, in conjunction with the employment services which will be useful for people who may want to work in a nursery. This day will give them ideas of the tasks, the ways of working and what is required as an individual as well as team perspective.

It has taken us a great deal of time to sort this out legally etc but on the 12th November this will be all tied up. As with other of staff benefits this will come into effect in the same way and conditions as for those mentioned. We will look to qualify giving shares to staff in an even way based on time in service, contribution to the nursery, commitment and subject and conditioned by a satisfactory appraisal in line with general agreements with staff on our existing benefits.

We see the issuing of shares as another example of involving staff in all that we do as well as encouraging the best out of staff and ensuring that they stay with us.

In order to make the nursery the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. place for your child we are putting a great deal of resources into staff support and facilities and we are still good value for money.

Please note that we have teamed up with Smailes/Goldie, Gammond Evans and Charterhouse pub to be able to raise as much as we can and we will let people know how much we all have raised as soon as possible.
