Parenta Magazine January 2020
Welcome to the January edition of the Parenta magazine! January is the month when many of us reflect on the year behind us and endeavour to make (and stick to!) resolutions for the year ahead, both personally and professionally. If you are one of the many who are starting the new year with high hopes of becoming more sustainable, we’ve got some useful ideas to help you reduce the use of plastic in your setting, together with some fun activities to educate the children about the importance of recycling. In the aftermath of the festive season, it’s important to remember to look after ourselves and our teams, both physically and mentally. Following on from an earlier article on how to improve the wellbeing of your staff, we take a look at this topical subject from Ofsted’s perspective, according to its recently-introduced Education Inspection Framework. We hope you enjoy this edition of our magazine and would like to wish all our readers a happy New Year and we hope that 2020 brings you happiness and success.

Recruitment<br />
I have had many dealings with<br />
Lilly over time and she has always<br />
been incredibly supportive, helpful,<br />
professional and really nice to deal<br />
with, so I know that you will all be<br />
in safe hands.<br />

I am writing to give feedback for my<br />
remote assessor, Jeanette Arnold,<br />
who has been so supportive and<br />
helpful in helping me complete my<br />
Level 3 in childcare. Every time I<br />
needed help or had any questions,<br />
she was available for me to call<br />
or e-mail her. She provided me<br />
with lots of help and guidance<br />
for my coursework and she has<br />
been such an amazing tutor, as<br />
during the beginning, I had few<br />
disappointments from <strong>Parenta</strong> but<br />
Jeanette helped me complete Level<br />
3 on time. Many thanks, to her and<br />
your team.<br />

Just wanted to feedback, I spoke to Molly today (think this is<br />
the first time I have spoken to her) and just wanted to say she<br />
was lovely. She was really helpful and talked through the next<br />
steps of what will happen next with my enquiry.<br />
I want to congratulate <strong>Parenta</strong> on all their fabulous teams<br />
throughout the company. They are always upbeat when I call<br />
and are always keen to solve any questions or concerns I have.<br />
<strong>Parenta</strong>, you have a fabulous workforce and they all deserve<br />
a pat on the back (or massive pay rise! That comment should<br />
get me some brownie points). Honestly as a manager and<br />
head of business I congratulate you on your recruitment.<br />
Keep up the good work everyone.<br />

Training<br />
Excellent, the course was delivered<br />
and followed through well, with<br />
continuous support and encouragement<br />
to achieve the goal. The standards of<br />
teaching and learning are 5 star and I<br />
was always made to feel that I can do it!<br />
