Bear's House Nursery, Hastings

I have worked at Bears House for 11 years. I completed my college placement within the setting, joined as bank staff and have progressed to nursery Manager within this time.

I was always passionate about childcare and knew from a very young age I wanted to follow this career path.

I love watching children grow and observing their development thrive. I believe the Early Years are the most important time of a child's education. I have an extremely confident and amazing team that provides a warm, welcoming environment sharing their knowledge and passion each and every day.

I was a room lead in our Baby room, then promoted in December 2021 to Deputy Manager. I have worked in the childcare sector since 2009. Working with children is something I knew I wanted to do since I was little. Watching the children grow and have a positive impact on their life is something that continues to make me thrive at my job. My little girl has been at Bears House since she was 8 months old, she surprises me every day with things she has learnt whilst being at nursery. She thoroughly enjoys coming to the nursery and has built good relationships with everyone in the setting.

I have worked at Bears House for 4 years. I enjoy working with the fantastic team, I love watching the children grow and progress t preschool through our levels. I always enjoy providing exciting activities to enhance the children's learning through play.

I also enjoy coordinating additional support for children with SEN and liaising with their families and outside agencies.

I am very passionate about providing the best quality care for our youngest Bears House family members and helping them to develop and reach their full potential.

I am very lucky to be able to have my 10-month-old son here with me also, allowing me to watch him thrive alongside his peers.

I love to get creative with my cubs by providing lots of messy activities to display in our room and send home to their loved ones.

I believe that children learn most effectively when they are actively involved in what they are doing.

I have been working at Bears House Nursery since October 2021. I received my qualification in childcare in 2019 through an apprenticeship I started in 2018. Though I did not originally plan for a career in childcare, I have found it to be one of the most rewarding experiences possible.

I love helping children develop the foundations of happy, curious and inquisitive minds, eager to learn and explore the wider world around them as they continue their journey onwards, beyond their early years of education.

In my spare time, I enjoy watching films, listening to music, collecting records and writing my own novel.

I have been working at Bears House since June 2021. I received my level 3 qualification in Childcare in October 2012. I am passionate about working with children and watching them grow and develop independently. In my spare time, I enjoy watching football and going to as many games as I can.

I have worked at Bears House for 8 years and achieved my level 3 during my time at college. I love working with children because I find it very rewarding and it's lovely being able to help them achieve and grow as individuals.

I am a Mum of three and enjoy music and singing.

After college and university, I did work experience with a variety of ages of children whilst working full time. I decided I wanted a change from retail so applied for an apprenticeship in Brighton. I worked there for 2 years in the baby room and Toddlers before moving to Bears House. This role is very rewarding and I laugh every day with the children.

Outside of work I enjoy playing the guitar and piano as well as learning languages. I am conversational in Spanish and also learning French and Russian.
