I have worked with South Lanarkshire Council for 20 years and started all those years ago as a supply member of staff at Halfmerke nursery. Over the years I have worked in many different nurseries both school based and 52 week centres. I have worked as an early years worker, team leader, depute and in January 2021 I was successful at gaining the heads post back where my career all started. I am very passionate about my role and the service that my establishment and team provide to our children. Working with children and making a difference is always been where my heart lies. When you visit our nursery this is the ethos I believe you will feel. We have a clear, shared vision and strive daily to achieve this.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">&#8220;To provide a child-centred fun, safe and loving environment in which all our children and families are unique and valued.&#8221;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-707\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sl\/public\/halfmerkecommunitynursery\/uploads\/sites\/13223\/2024\/03\/06113240\/Jennifer-213x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"213\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sl\/public\/halfmerkecommunitynursery\/uploads\/sites\/13223\/2024\/03\/06113240\/Jennifer-213x300.jpg 213w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sl\/public\/halfmerkecommunitynursery\/uploads\/sites\/13223\/2024\/03\/06113240\/Jennifer-727x1024.jpg 727w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sl\/public\/halfmerkecommunitynursery\/uploads\/sites\/13223\/2024\/03\/06113240\/Jennifer-768x1082.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sl\/public\/halfmerkecommunitynursery\/uploads\/sites\/13223\/2024\/03\/06113240\/Jennifer.jpg 894w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 213px) 100vw, 213px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone, my name is Jennifer Paterson I am the head of Halfmerke Community Nursery.
