✨Meet our Team✨ Hello, my name is Sarah. I am brand new to Selca! I have joined the gang as the Butterfly Group / Team Leader and Foundation Phase Lead. I am so excited to have been given this opportunity and I absolutely love my new team🦋 I have a solid background in childcare with twelve years of Primary School experience. My roles have been varied from ALNCO, Lead Thrive Practitioner (social, emotional and behavioural development) to HLTA in a large nursery class. Watching tiny people develop into confident, independent individuals is my favourite thing to do and knowing that I can be a part of that is really special. I am a very chatty person who loves to socialise so never be worried about stopping me for a catch up about what we have been doing! My own children are all grown up now so I can not wait to be a part of your children’s journey🥰✨❤️

So grateful for our families🥰❤️

The bosses. Our lovely two Nursery Managers🤩🥰 🌟Loren Shanahan @selcadaynurseryllanharan 🌟Millie-Rae Verity @selcadaynurserypencoed

Congratulations to Katie who has won Employee of the Month🤩 Katie has worked really hard over the last couple of months and settled so nicely into the new routine of the Caterpillars. She is wonderful with the children and incredibly supportive towards other members of staff. Her colleagues describe her at very caring, humorous and “a teenie bit crazy”. She glowed during the staff observation week undertaken by Loren and we can already see the qualities of a strong member of staff in her✨⭐️🌟🤩 Well done Katie - keep up the good work! ❤️

Congratulations to Millie who has won our absence incentive for the second time round🥳🤩🥰💙

✨Meet our Team✨ Hi, My name is Millie and I am a Team Leader at Selca Day Nursery☀️. I am the leader of our youngest nursery group, the tadpoles who are the under 2s💚 I am the youngest member of the Paskell’s, the family behind our lovely setting. I have worked here for almost three years, working with the 2-3s, the Baby Room and now I run our under 2s. I am currently undergoing my CCLD and can’t wait develop further in my career🧠 I put my heart & soul into my job every single day and l can’t think of a better way to spend my week than with my tadpoles and my hardworking under 2s team. I am very grateful to have a fantastic team without the tadpoles, working alongside Alisha and Courtney every day.

✨Meet our Team✨ Hi there! My name is Helen and I am a Team Leader at Selca Day Nursery. My group is the lovely little caterpillars who are aged between 2-3 years old🐛🍃 I have worked in various childcare settings for twelve years and thoroughly enjoy helping to support, develop and nourish children’s social and academic developments. I am also a big child at heart which I believe helps encourage children to step outside of their own comfort zones and fully engage in activities which are then filled with smiles and laughter. I also play and coach netball for a local club and strongly encourage to be active within a lifestyle. I love to dance with the children throughout the day, doubled up with lots of singing of nursery rhymes. I am always happy to chat at the door on how your child/ren’s day has been🥰🤩

Beautiful new diaries for our boss ladies. With organisation comes empowerment💁🏼‍♀️🤩✨🌟😍 @the_positive_teacher_company

Today we have been busy practising our fine motor skills and learning our different colours.🌈🥰 We have been working hard using our tweezers to match all the colours to our colour mats. It was hard work squeezing and holding our shapes tight to place them on the mat but we all gave it a go!

✨Meet our Team✨ Shwmae! I am Millie-Rae🤩 I am a Team Leader at Selca as well as the settings ALNCO. I also lead the Frogs group which is one of our 2-3s. This job is a job that I hold close to my heart. It’s very special to get to experience the milestones, witness the growth and development of children and of course - the cuddles and smiles that you get everyday🥰 I love creating happiness beyond myself and experience a lot of ‘firsts’ for the children that celebrate with the families and carers of all their important milestones. Being ALNCO is also a huge part of my role here at Selca and brings a lot of unique challenges and opportunities. Working with the children in the Frogs and the wider setting is so fulfilling. I can recognise that everything I do serves a greater purpose, watching a child progress makes it all worthwhile ❤️ I am a level 3 qualified Nursery Nurse and have worked very hard for all the qualification that I have gained as well as the many years experience in schools that I have had. I have created lots of lovely bonds with carers and parents, staff and children and coming to work everyday in a setting of lots of smiles is always a blessing. No day here is ever the same & you really do learn something new everyday🥰❣️🤩✨❤️

✨Meet our Team✨ Hello, I am Kristan👋🏼 I am the leader of the oldest of our nursery group, the butterflies😁🦋 I take on many roles from group leader, foundation phase leader, Team Leader to the nursery team and I am also the Education Lead at the setting in charge of all things Education! I am a qualified school teacher and have been working at Selca since July of 2021 where I’ve been leading the Foundation Phase ever since. I work alongside my fellow Foundation Phase Practitioners planning lots of fun activities for my Butterfly group children. You may well have seen all of the fun educational activities that we do from my Butterflies Instagram page🎨🧶✏️ I enjoy welcoming new children into my group and supporting them on their pre-school journey at our day nursery. My favourite part of working at Selca Day Nursery is watching the children’s foundation phase journey with us, watching them grow and develop until they are ready to leave our setting and join the big school🥰🦋🌈

✨We are Growing!!!✨ 12 months ago we commenced the biggest transformation our beautiful Old Gospel Hall has undertaken in the time it’s been in the Paskell family’s belonging. We pulled down the walls to our tiny old office and staff room to make room for a bright and beautiful under 2s room and a thriving 3+/education room. We did this to improve the environment and experiences the children within our setting have. As a result we polished up our old dark basement that’s been sat there all this time desperate for our team to spend their time chatting, laughing and sharing stories of their busy days within it. Today we received confirmation that as a result of this we are now able to increase our numbers and welcome 6 additional children to our nursery family, a dream that for years was just a dream. With the increase of 6 additional children at our setting, combined with the 10 additional children we’ve been granted at our beautiful school club in Llanharan Miners Welfare Hall & Fields hall means that we can now confirm and go ahead in welcoming 16 EXTRA smiley faces to our community. We are so excited and cannot thank our team in their patience and hard work in this transition. Our beautiful Old Gospel Hall is about to get busier and our team can’t wait🥰😍🤩✨❤️

✨Meet our Team✨ Post #2 for meet our team member is Selca’s three year reigning champion of fancy dress competitions and Manager of our After-school Club, Shannon🤩 “Hello, my name is Shannon👋🏼 I am a very fun and happy person. I am the Manager of Selca’s Breakfast and After School Club at Llanharan Welfare Hall. I LOVE my role, I spend my time with all children at the nursery and love seeing them learn and grow. At the School Club I am in charge of providing lots of different activities that suits all ages. My team and I plan every two weeks of activities to keep it exciting and always asking the children for their opinion and input. You will find me either having a dance off with the children on our Nintendo or getting messy in our messy corner. I hold a Level 3 in childcare and am currently undergoing my Level 3 Play Work. I have just experienced my first ever CIW inspection as Manager and the settings first inspection overall which was really good and has given me great confidence in my role. I love being a part of my Selca team🥰”

I have been apart of the Selca team since 2015 where I joined as a Student whilst completing my training👩🏼‍🎓 I am now Level 5 Qualified, hold a Level 3 in Playwork and run the setting!😁 Over the years, I have shared my knowledge and experinces with my staff to create a diverse and accepting setting who are inclusive of all🌍 When I’m not running the office, I do still enjoy getting down with the children, creating messy & edible activities for them to learn and eat 🤭🌈🖍

Congratulations to Jessy who has won ‘Employee of the Month’🥳 "Since starting she's been a massive part of the nursery. She's so helpful, she always comes up with new ideas and is always working so hard"☀️🤩🎉🥳

Good morning, Millie-Rae here, Selca’s very own ALNCO! Today is the start of a very special month where we celebrate the condition called Autism! Autism is not an illness, or a disease or something you can catch. In fact, it’s a very wonderful thing! Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how people perceive life and interact with others. Did you know, some of the most intelligent people in the world are autistic?🤔 Having a child, friend, family member or even someone in your life that has autism is super special! We’re all heroes in our own magical ways but autism is like an amazing super power, that only a fraction of people have! Here at Selca, we accept autism all year around but this month is all about celebrating it and shining a light on how special it really is!✨ I am so proud to be the ALNCO and getting to share really special moments and milestones with children who have any additional learning needs including autism. It is something I cherish dearly!😌 Today we fill the nursery with all things blue to celebrate this oh so special condition!💙🦋🦕 I can’t wait to see how lovely everyone will look and coming together to show their support! Happy Autism awareness day!💙💙💙 "Autism is a gift. You may be different but you are not less"🌈✨

Today we celebrated the end of our March topic of ‘Time Turners’ which focuses on all things in the past. 🦖🤠🧙‍♂️🦎🪐🎭🗿 As a way to celebrate such a busy month of learning about all kinds of history, today we threw a big Victorian Party organised by Helen, our fantastic Team Leader and superb Group Leader of the Caterpillars🐛 Look at for lots of pictures of all the activities we got up to today. We even made homemade cupcakes and our very own homemade cheesy bread!! A huge thank you to Helen for today!!🤩🥳❤️

What is our loss is certainly another teams gain ❤️ We are all wishing you the best of luck in the next chapter of your life ❤️🥰❣️
