I think the nursery provides an excellent learning environment for the children and a reassuring set up for the parents. My son loves his time at nursery and has learnt so many things from the staff and his peers. I would highly recommend Kids 1st to everyone

Seahorse 1 is fabulous. My son is currently full-time and I know from the moment I drop him off each day he is going to be looked after fabulously! He is coming on so well and it is thanks to the support and care of all the workers in his room. His allergies can be challenging but have been taken seriously
and he is trying lots of new foods thanks to Kids 1st Gosforth.

Job Title: Centre Director Joined: 2012

Hello, I am responsible for looking after the learning, development and welfare needs of all the children at Kids 1st Gosforth.  I will help your child settle into the nursery and ensure that they thrive in a loving, secure environment.


I have worked at Kids 1st Gosforth since March 2012, as a nursery nurse, I was quickly promoted to EYP graduate and then Deputy Manager.  Where I was later promoted to Centre Director.  I have many years of experience in a leadership role and have my foundation degree in Education and Childhood Studies.


I am a keen hiker and at the moment I am trying to complete all the Wainwrights before I move on the Monroe's in Scotland. My other passion is musical theatre and  I have two grown-up children and a small dog called Maggie.
