Magpie Learning Centre part of the The Children's Hospital School Leicester will always have a special place in my heart.
I have worked with this wonderful team for over two years and today feels like the end of an era as I say goodbye.
I’ve met and worked with so many amazing young people who struggle with day to day life because of poor mental health but they continue to achieve at their own pace and in their own way.
The staff have been incredible and have welcomed all my crazy sensory ideas with open arms, really making me feel like part of their team.
I’m going to miss my time here and today there has been some tears as I walked away for the last time.
This is one of the hardest parts of what we do as a team, never seeing where the children we support end up in life, all that we can hope is that they continue to thrive and be healthy and happy in whatever path life takes them down.
Being a company who solely provides interventions is hard because we’re never in one place forever. We are where need takes us and where budgets can afford our service.
It’s been an adventure that I’ll never forget but as they say ‘when one door closes another one opens’ and we now start with some different children in a different setting on a Tuesday morning.
I’m just hoping my brain isn’t on auto pilot when driving to work every Tuesday morning 🤣
