'I love working with children and helping them to grow and flourish. Our little learners are the future generation and it is so important to support and nourish them. Watching the children accomplish their goals and seeing the smiles on their faces makes me realise why I do what I do. Every day the children amaze me; we may be the adults, but they have just as much to teach us as we do them.'

'Since working at Hedgehogs, I have experienced a new side to childcare focusing on independence and allowing the children to explore everything for themselves. Working with children is such a rewarding job, being part of their little lives and watching them grow, develop and achieve things for the first time, knowing we contribute to their progress is a privilege and reminds me why I do the job I do.'

'Working with children has always been my dream job. I love seeing them smile and laugh, it makes me feel like I have achieved something. I can't wait to see and watch the children grow, achieving milestones, and achieving their targets.'

'I always knew I wanted to work with children, ever since I was a child myself. It is such a rewarding job being able to help children to grow and flourish into wonderful little people. All children have different milestones and goals to achieve, but when you first watch them reach one of their targets that memory never leaves you.'

'I love working at Hedgehogs. I enjoy the fact that each day brings a new set of challenges. Every day is full of children's love and laughs, and I like observing children showing their own ideas, as well as showing their creative side.'
