Meet The Club Manager
Patience
Club Manager
Hello, my name is Patience. I am the Club Manager at our Blackthorns Breakfast and After School Club.
I joined Pioneer Childcare in June 2024. I hold a level 3 Childcare & Early Learning Certificate and SVQ Level 5 Health and Social Care Management qualification.
Before joining Pioneer Childcare, I worked as childminder and I have also volunteered at my local church on various roles including being a Sunday school teacher and a youth advisor.
My role at Pioneer gives me an opportunity to make a positive difference in the children’s lives.
Since joining Pioneer, I have received training and hold certificates in First Aid, Safeguarding, Prevent, Food Hygiene and Food Allergy and Intolerance training.
I enjoy all aspects of the club and I mostly like to run the challenge activities. I love seeing the children’s excitement in trying new things and I look forward to encouraging them to reaching their full potential.
If you would like to discuss anything club-related, please give me a call on 07825636155 during club opening hours, and I will be happy to talk to you.
Our activities
We offer children choice and variety across our range of indoor activities including sport, games and arts & crafts. We enjoy additional access to the playgrounds, field & outdoor areas – meaning we have plenty of room to further extend our range of exciting activities.
We are constantly monitoring and supporting the children, to ensure everyone has been well fed with a variety of options available to keep the children engaged and enjoying themselves whilst in our care.
