Jess, a year 11 learner engaged fully with the programme and has successfully completed the course. She has since visited her identified toddler, who has additional needs at his own school. After February half term she will complete further days in his special needs school and one day a week at his nursery. Jess said she enjoyed the programme, felt more confident and that this had confirmed that she would like to work in a nursery when she leaves school
Well Done Jess, we are all very proud of you!
