“EMBRACE THE CRINGE”

Last week, Sarah & Naomi had the privilege of attending an incredibly inspiring awards ceremony celebrating apprenticeship success across the North East. 🌟

One of the standout themes from the event was the importance of stepping outside your comfort zone and “embracing the cringe.”

Because the truth is — people will talk about you regardless… so you may as well give them something brilliant to talk about. 💫

It was a powerful reminder to be bold, back yourself, and not let fear of judgment hold you back.

We’re feeling motivated, inspired, and ready to keep pushing forward! 🚀

✨Candidate of the Month – June 🎉

A huge congratulations to Sarah Gallagher from Little Clouds Nursery for being named Cairn Training’s Candidate of the Month for June!

Sarah has truly excelled in her coursework over the past few months, consistently demonstrating dedication and a passion for learning. She has gone above and beyond, supporting her practical work with ongoing CPD and new knowledge — a fantastic example of commitment to professional growth.
What makes this achievement even more impressive is that Sarah has been balancing her studies while working towards her maths qualification part-time… and she is now waiting for her certification!

👏 Fantastic work, Sarah! Your hard work and perseverance are inspiring, and you are going to make a truly fantastic practitioner.

We’re incredibly proud of you — well done! 💫

Sarah and Naomi were delighted to attend the DYW Awards today, an inspiring celebration of the incredible individuals and organisations dedicated to supporting and empowering our young workforce. It was a fantastic opportunity to recognise the passion, commitment, and positive impact shown by so many people working to create brighter futures for young people.
From innovative initiatives to unwavering mentorship, every finalist and winner demonstrated how powerful collaboration and support can be in shaping the next generation. A huge well done to everyone involved — your hard work and dedication are truly making a difference and helping young people thrive.

Happy 40th Kirsty! 🎉💖

✨SARAH IN FOUR WORDS....

✨We put the team to the test and asked them to describe Sarah in four words...

✨The results? We love them 🫶🏻

This week Nicola and Naomi had the pleasure of working alongside DYW to deliver a session to S3 pupils at Bucksburn Academy.

They explored the different pathways into Early Education, discussing the various routes available and the further education opportunities that can help support their career aspirations.

A key focus of the session was teamwork. Pupils worked collaboratively in groups to create props inspired by their favourite stories, demonstrating excellent communication, creativity, and problem-solving skills throughout.

It was fantastic to see such enthusiasm and engagement from the young people, and we hope the session provided valuable insight into future opportunities within the Early Education sector.
