Milk Hero Spotlight – AUGUST

Connie Fereday from RAFAKidz – Cranwell

This month, we’re delighted to shine the spotlight on a truly inspiring educator — Connie Fereday, Room Leader of the Butterfly Room at Rafa Kidz Cranwell.

Connie was nominated by her team for her dedication, creativity, and exceptional care in supporting the development of the 2–3-year-olds she leads.

Her warm and engaging teaching style creates a learning environment where children feel excited, safe, and inspired to explore. Whether she’s helping children understand how milk keeps their teeth and bones strong, or sparking joy through outdoor learning, Connie’s enthusiasm makes every moment count.

Recently, Connie led a series of activities focused on health and wellbeing — teaching children about looking after their teeth, the benefits of milk, and how to keep their minds and bodies healthy. To bring this to life, she even arranged a visit to the local allotments and invited a local dentist into the nursery to speak with the children.

As a final touch, she captured a lovely moment where the children headed out to the front of the nursery to meet the milkman delivering their Cool Milk — a small act that turned into a memorable experience for all.

💬 “Our staff, children, and parents are continually inspired by the warm, engaging learning environment Connie creates,” said her nominator. “Her passion for early childhood education shines through in everything she does.”

We couldn’t agree more. Connie, thank you for being a shining example of what it means to be a Milk Hero.

👏 Congratulations!
