PURPLE POST - April 2025
Welcome to the April issue of Purple Post!
Spring is in the air! The days are getting longer, the evenings are brighter, and nature is finally bursting into life! April is a time for celebration, with Easter bringing chocolate eggs and family time, St George’s Day honouring England’s patron saint, and cultural festivities like Vaisakhi, marking the Sikh and Hindu new year, and Passover, a sacred time of remembrance in the Jewish faith.
Happy Springtime, everyone!
Update from Richelle Sparks, Head of Sales and Customer Experience
Donna P and I had two productive and enjoyable days at this years Childcare Expo. Visitor numbers were the best we have seen, and we held many fantastic conversations with potential new customers. We gathered more than 80 leads, sold some Childcare SuperHero t- shirts and copies of Allan's book. The Sales Team is in the process of following up on the leads and we hope to share news of some successful conversions.

Join the 2025 Parenta Trust Maidstone to Monaco Rally!
It’s back! Registration is now open for this exciting 2,000-mile road trip from 25th to 29th June 2025, crossing eight countries, including the stunning Furka Pass. More than just an adventure, this rally supports Parenta Trust's mission to build schools for orphaned and disadvantaged children in deprived areas worldwide.
Enjoy daily challenges, camaraderie, and the chance to make a meaningful impact, with funds raised going directly to creating schools in Eastern Africa. To date, six schools have been built, giving 1,400 children annually the chance to thrive through education.
Why not put together a team for the Rally and take on this incredible challenge? Whether you ‘rally’ colleagues from your own team or join forces with others across the business, this is the perfect opportunity to work together, have fun, and make a real difference for a great cause!
PS: The rally is a 5-day event, from Wednesday to Sunday and any Parenta team members who participate are given an extra day’s annual leave, so you only need to take 2 days out of your holiday!
Sign up NOW and help bring education and hope to those who need it most!

"My tutor has been a great help and support for me. She is always available to answer my questions regarding course content, tasks and OneFile. At the beginning of the course, I felt a bit overwhelmed, but with her support and encouragement, I now feel more confident and I am enjoying my course. Thank you"
Amber G
“From week 1, my tutor was always so supportive about any situation I had going on at home or work. She also would make learning maths as fun as she could and would try and teach me ways of understanding that I might get. I think the only reason I passed my maths was because I had her.”
Ewa P
“I am really happy and thankful to my tutor. She taught me a lot and helped me pass my Maths exam Level 2. She was always positive and responded with all the needed information and helpful resources.”
Jasna B
"I am so pleased with the nursery website Parenta has built for us at Little wonders! I feel they really listened to what I wanted for the nursery and what we are all about and they really portrayed this in the website they have built. During my OFSTED registration, the inspector commented how the website really matches the nursery and what we propose to give to our families! Thank you Parenta for all your help and continued support."
Beth P
“I can’t thank my tutor enough for her help and support throughout and her encouragement to keep me going to get to this point. She deserves to be recognised for her hard work with me and what I can only assume with others too. Thank you, you’ve been amazing! 🤩”
Naazish H
"My tutor has been excellent for our apprentice. She is accessible, supportive and her encouragement brings the best out of the apprentice for their learning."
Well Done, Keep Them Coming!
