I began my childcare career in 2012 after having my own family. I qualified with a Diploma Level 3 Early Years Educator. I first became a manager in 2015 in a small village pre-school where my own children attended. I have had a wealth of experience managing different nurseries, being able to help children develop and be fortunate enough to really make a difference to their families too. It is the small achievements the children make that reinstates every day why I chose this career. Seeing a child’s eyes light up when they realise they have built the tallest tower or remembered a nursery rhyme is very special. I have just begun my journey with Chestnut Nursery School and already feel part of a very unique family that always puts the child’s needs first.

I am passionate about making children’s early experiences the best they can be at our nursery. I believe that a child’s early years and development lay the foundations for the rest of their lives. I have been working for Chestnut Nursery Schools for 5 years, starting out as bank staff and then full time practitioner before making the move to room lead and now Deputy Manager. I have a Level 3 qualification in Early Years. The team here at Taverham are truly a little family who are always keen to provide the best for the children in our care. I enjoy working in all rooms from babies to preschool, seeing the children grow in abilities and confidence and helping support them and their families as they develop their sense of self and their view of the world around them. No two days are the same working with young children and I love being part of their early years journey.
