I have worked in many teams across Hertfordshire, all without exception friendly and welcoming. There is an ethos of peer support and encouragement & sharing learning; everyone works hard but there is a sense of belonging and always time for a quick chatand plenty of laughs. I feel valued here and I value my lovely colleagues and the fabulous children & young people we work with.”
