'Working in the Early Years sector is such a privilege, seeing little faces light up when you extend their learning by showing them something new is the most rewarding part. Nobody is too big to jump in a puddle or make a mud pie, following the children’s interest guides you to sharing the most fun with them. Muddy boots, mucky faces and dirty clothes are a sign of a good day for staff and children.'

'I love educating and helping the children learn through their own ideas and interests.

Since becoming part of the Hedgehogs Family, I have been welcomed with open arms and seen lots of positive changes as the Family begins to grow.'

'I have enjoyed working in childcare for many years, no two days are the same and I could not imagine doing anything more rewarding than this. 

It's exciting to start at Hedgehogs where children are in charge of their own play and learning. Already, I can see the children challenge themselves daily, developing and growing by exploring the world around them.'

'My name is Suzanne and I have recently joined Chatham Hedgehogs. I have really enjoyed my short time here I feel happy and have really been enjoying their approach to supporting children's learning. I hope to learn a lot more and enjoy the challenges this will bring for my own professional development! Thank you for allowing me to join this very happy and flourishing setting.'

'What can I say? I have an absolute passion for observing and helping our children as they develop and learn new things.

I love the Hedgehogs way of "bringing curiosity, awe and wonder to childcare".

The thing I love the most about working at Hedgehogs is the feeling of satisfaction when you know you have made a difference, that's the best feeling in the world.'

'It is a privilege to work at Hedgehogs and to be able to see young children flourish and learn under our care. Being part of the learning journey the Preschoolers take is a wonderful feeling which I am greatly passionate about, I sincerely enjoy accompanying our little learners in their adventures and seeing their skills develop through exciting play based opportunities.'

'Hi I'm Shannon, I love to go to the gym and spend time with my friends in my spare time.

I also like to go out for dinner, my favourite is a roast! I like working at Hedgehogs because the children make me smile everyday.'
