This is one of the worst places my sister said she has worked at for experience. She says that staff had to be told what to do in a very bad manor lunchtime she has to eat in the storage cupboard. And she doesn't get to interact with anybody no children $he could interact with this place is irrelevant and treats other religons/staff in a different way.
