Award-winning Doncaster nursery welcomes new manager A popular Doncaster nursery has welcomed a new manager to oversee its operations Little Learners Day Nursery on Leger Way, part of Doncaster Deaf Trust, has appointed Helen Goddard, from Thorne, as its new early years manager.

Helen, 35, who has worked in the childcare sector for 17 years, also has a BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies, achieved Early Years Teacher Status and recently enrolled on the National Professional Qualification in Early Years Leadership.

Having worked at Little Learners for the last 13 years, Helen has a wealth of experience, originally as practitioner before working her way up to team supervisor, senior coordinator, deputy manager and now early years manager.

Helen told Thorne Local: “I love all aspects of working in the nursery, in particular watching the children grow, develop and thrive. I also enjoy building relationships with staff, children and their families. Having worked within the nursery for as long as I have, and being Page 8

employed in each role, it has given me a depth of knowledge and experience across the board.

“I am delighted to become early years manager and very proud to represent the award-winning nursery in this role. I’m looking forward to building on our already excellent reputation and driving the nursery forward alongside the staff team. I aim to continue to build on our Early Years Curriculum to provide the children in nursery with the best possible care and education.”

Alexis Johnson, chief executive of Doncaster Deaf Trust, said: “Helen is a caring and hardworking member of our team and we are so pleased she has now taken this further step in her career to become the manager of our wonderful nursery provision. She is a credit to Doncaster Deaf Trust and the children and staff she supports, and I know the experience she brings will help the nursery continue to grow and develop.”

“This year we have plans to launch a takeaway service and a meals on wheels service, as well as various events including psychic nights and themed nights.

“We work with the DN7 foodbank and have done the donate a plate scheme as well as working with the church to help support them and we also carry out the catering for their events..

“We are aiming to make the cafe a community hub so we’ve started running a mum and baby group on a Monday morning.

“I am very excited for these new plans which will only help us grow and get busier.

A lot of people still don’t know we are here, and i feel these additional services will definitely help with that.”

We wish The Barn Kitchen the best of luck and cannot wait to see all the wonderful things that happen!

Community events

Issue 02 - January-March 2024

There have been some great events happening in and around the area as well as some brilliant ones still coming up. Here is a round-up of them: The Dutchman at Moorends has reopened as an events venue “for all occasions”. Last month saw the ‘unofficial’ launch party with live music from local band Gordon’s Alive.

On Saturday 27th January, Moorends Comrades Club welcomes Lauren Faye who will be performing a fantastic tribute to Celine Dion. Entry is £3 and it’s set to be a fabulous night.

And that’s not all from the Moorends Comrades Club. Friday 1st March sees ‘An Evening with Ian Harte’ a former international footballer plus guests who will be talking about his career and the great memories he has.

If you have any events coming up, or that have recently happened, that you would like to be featured in the next edition of the magazine, please get in touch with our friendly team at info@createtvt.co.uk

(23rd Aug-22nd Sept)

You are working on a lifestyle change and it is taking its toll but hang in there, it’s going to be worthwhile in the end.

A huge, dramatic change is about to happen in your life in the upcoming weeks. You will need to remain calm and not rush into a big decision.

PISCES

LIBRA

(19th Feb-20th March)

(23rd Sept-22nd Oct)

Be careful with your spending this month, blowing all your money at the start and having none left for the rest of the month is not wise.

You are trying too hard to go above and beyond in elements of your life, a step at a time, you can’t be brilliant at everything.

ARIES

SCORPIO

(21st March-19th April)

(23rd Oct-21st Nov)

Plans may have changed recently, but you have some exciting events coming up and you will have lots of new memories to look back on.

You aren’t in the mood for company or to listen to gossip. You have too many important things on your mind.

TAURUS

CANCER

SAGITTARIUS

(20th April-20th May)

(21st June- 22nd July)

(22nd Nov-21st Dec)

A memory from the past will keep you awake at night.

Don’t panic, revisiting the past can sometimes give you the closure you need.

Your friendships are going to begin to change a little over the next few months, not to worry, its just time to reflect on which the true ones are.

You are doing a great job at focussing on your health and well-being, keep up the good work!
