What Volunteering Brings to the Children
Having volunteers as part of our daily routine enriches the experience of the children at Shining Stars Nursery School. It allows them to interact with a diverse range of caring individuals, helping them build confidence, social skills, and a greater sense of belonging.
Volunteers bring new ideas, creativity, and energy into the nursery, supporting our staff in delivering an engaging and dynamic learning environment. The children benefit from extra attention, encouragement, and a sense of being part of a wider, supportive community.
The WeCareWales Video: A Glimpse into Volunteering
WeCareWales, an initiative dedicated to promoting careers in care and early years education, has captured the essence of what it means to volunteer at Shining Stars Nursery School.
The video highlights the enthusiasm and commitment of our volunteers, the joy of working with children, and the supportive environment we provide.
In the video, you’ll hear from volunteers who share their experiences and what they’ve gained from being part of our nursery school. Their stories reflect the rewarding nature of giving back to the community and the deep connections formed along the way.
Volunteering is Part of Our Ethos
As a Community Interest Company, working with volunteers is at the heart of who we are. We believe that involving volunteers in the daily life of our nursery creates a friendly, caring, and family-orientated atmosphere that enhances the care the children receive.
It strengthens our sense of community, fosters meaningful relationships, and ensures that every child feels valued and supported. Our ethos is built on inclusivity, kindness, and shared responsibility, making Shining Stars a special place for children, families, and volunteers alike.
