Bright Horizons West Norwood Day Nursery and Preschool

Working with children has always been a passion of mine. I hold an education degree, an early year’s teacher status and have over 10 years of childcare experience. I have now been working with Bright Horizons for more than 2 years, and I absolutely love my job. Being a leader, I believe in creating an atmosphere where I am working in partnership to ensure children feel challenged to learn and develop, and where staff feel happy to come to work.

I have been working in childcare since 2016, working my way up from my Level 3 Apprenticeship to now Deputy Manager; I have also studied my Level 3 SENCo.

From my very first day in childcare, I loved the atmosphere and the environments I was able to create for the children. I have worked with all age ranges in the early years from birth to 5 years; every day is a new challenge and a new experience to develop my knowledge and my skills to provide the best care/environment for my staff/families and children.

I consider myself to be a hardworking and determined leader and role model, I believe that building strong partnerships with parents and families is vital in ensuring development and learning are extended at home.
