support team

Judith Middleton

Judith has a background in Early Years from being an Under Eights Adviser, Pre-school Specialist Support Teacher, and working with the Pre-school Learning Alliance plus various other roles with young children. She started work for pinpoint with young parents and this has now been extended  to Early Years.  Judith meets parents and gives information about pinpoint, including its aim to help parents to be better informed and have a voice. Judith works hard to listen to parents views and passes on issues to pinpoint, for example a recent issue included how difficult it is for parents of young children to attend events and training without a crèche.  An active fundraiser, Judith can be seen in her profile picture on her exercise back trying to raise funds for Fledglings, by cycling 3,000 miles in under a year.

If you have any feedback about Early Support, good or bad, Judith would be very interested to hear from you– please contact her through judith@pinpoint-cambs.org.uk or the Early Years forum. Also, please let Judith know if you would like her to come and visit your group or need help to set up a new one.
