Summary

Volunteers support the Nursery Assistant with young children in PfAT's crèche: term time only, Monday - Wednesday (one or more days per week). 10am - 2pm.

Detailed description

Adult refugees attend English as a Second Language classes (ESOL) during their first year in Norfolk, and PfAT runs a small crèche in the same building for their young children, so that childcare is not a barrier to attendance. The children who come to the nursery love to play, interact, have a snack, and play some more! Additionally, the nursery plays an invaluable role in preparing the children for school, by developing the foundational language skills they will need to succeed. The volunteers here have a hugely important role in supporting the nursery manager to provide a wide variety of learning experiences through play.
