Before starting at Purley Day Nursery and Montessori Centre over 3 years ago, I worked previously in a Montessori Nursery as a qualified early years educator. Working within a Montessori intrigued me, so I began studying the philosophy at Montessori Centre International, where I trained as a Montessori teacher 6 years ago.

Outside my job, I have two school-aged children, a boy and a girl. They keep me occupied for most of my free time, during the holidays we love to go abroad and visit new countries, places around the UK and try new foods. I love learning about other people's cultures and traditions; it's a real passion of mine. Read less
