The Health Cash Plan is offered in conjunction with our partners at BHSF.

Training and development

We offer a large number of training available both for work related development, as well as other interests. Furthermore, within The Springfield Project, staff can expect to receive regular 1:1 meetings every 4-6 weeks with their line manager and an annual performance review and appraisal.

🌙 Eid al-Fitr Celebration at our School Readiness 🌙 Eid al-Fitr Celebration  at our School Readiness Stay and Play 🌙 Startwell 

During our session, we talked with families about Eid al-Fitr, a special Muslim celebration that marks the end of the month of fasting, Ramadan.

It was a valuable opportunity to discuss diverse cultures and celebrations while supporting children and families in learning about important community events. 

We discussed how many Muslim families celebrate Eid by coming together with loved ones, enjoying special meals, exchanging gifts, and giving to charity. It is also a time for forgiveness and gratitude.

Families learned that people often wear their best clothes, decorate their homes, and attend special Eid prayers at the Mosque. Eid is also a time for Muslims to thank Allah for guiding them through the previous month and helping them practise patience and self-control. 🌙✨
