Delighted to share that I’ve started a new position as Senior Nursery Manager at Thrive Childcare and Education!

I am delighted to have completed my level 5 coaching professional apprenticeship! 🫶 I’ve completed my CPD whilst working full time and I’ve had all the support I’ve needed from Priory who started me off and my current employer Thrive Childcare and Education. Thank you both so much!

Absolutely thrilled to share a beautiful example of inclusion and cultural appreciation from my daughter's nursery, Happitots Day Nurseries, now under the stewardship of Thrive Childcare and Education🌟 - Jollof Rice is now on the menu! From our long-standing relationship with the nursery since its days as Cove Bay Kindergarten, I've always admired their commitment to personalized care. But they've truly outdone themselves with their latest menu update. This addition isn't just about diversifying meal options. It's a meaningful nod to the cultural heritage of many children attending, including my own. For immigrant and minority ethnic families, such gestures make a significant impact. It reflects a deeper understanding and respect for the cultural identities of all students, fostering an inclusive atmosphere from the earliest stages of education🌍 Food plays a significant role in cultural identity🍲, and for immigrant or minority ethnic children, seeing their traditional foods in school can make a big difference in how they perceive and adapt to their environment. Research indicates that immigrant and minority ethnic children often face challenges related to school meals, either due to dietary restrictions, unfamiliar foods, or simply the lack of representation of their own culture in the menu options 🥗. Ensuring that school food services are culturally inclusive not only helps to meet the nutritional needs but also supports the emotional and social well-being of these children❤️. Furthermore, Scotland's changing demographics, with a significant portion of the population being immigrants or born to immigrant parents, underscore the importance of such initiatives.📈. By integrating diverse food options like Jollof Rice, schools and nurseries can foster a deeper understanding and appreciation among all children, promoting inclusivity from a young age👶🏽👶🏻👶🏿. Thrive Childcare and Education’s approach is a practical demonstration of how educational settings can adapt to serve their increasingly diverse communities effectively🏫. It's these small changes that can make a big impact on the community’s youngest members, helping them feel seen and valued🌟. Here's to more institutions taking such heartfelt steps towards inclusivity! #DiversityAndInclusion #CulturalAppreciation #EarlyYearsEducation #CommunityBuilding Georgette Cobban, Pete Preston, Edward Obi Chartered FCIPD, MIRP, TechIOSH, Aberdeen City Council
