Banana Moon Day Nursery Colchester

I have worked at Banana Moon since 2012, when the Billericay Nursery first opened. I hold a Diploma in Nursery Nursing, which I was awarded in 1999.

I am a proud mummy of two boys — they are my world! Both of my sons have attended Banana Moon, and my youngest still does.

Working with children is my true passion. I love nothing more than seeing them flourish, learn, develop, and grow over the years at Banana Moon. The children and families are at the heart of our nursery — we are not just a nursery, we are a part of your children’s extended family.

My role is to encourage children to follow their interests while supporting the staff to provide stimulating and engaging experiences that promote growth, curiosity, and joy every day.

Hi, I am Sophie, and I have a level 3 qualification in childcare. I started with Banana Moon 3 years ago as an Early Years Educator and have progressed to the position of Manager. I'm enjoying getting involved with all of the children and their families and working with the team to make sure everyone enjoys their time in the nursery.

During my spare time, I love spending time with my family.

I have worked in Early Years since I was 17 years old, during this time I have studied to become a Level 3 Early Years Educator.

For me helping children grow and reach their goals so they are ready to go off to school is one of the most rewarding feelings.

I am very excited to have joined Banana Moon as the Room Leader for Full Moons.

I have worked in childcare for many years, starting my career as an unqualified practitioner and working my way up to become a Level 3 Early Years Educator.

I have been with Banana Moon for several months and currently serve as Third in Charge and SENCo. Supporting children with additional needs is something I am truly passionate about, and I love helping every child feel confident, happy, and included.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my younger siblings and relaxing with friends. I also love bringing creativity and fun into my work, whether it’s through play, activities, or learning experiences that make each day exciting for the children.

I was raised in a family where cooking was a big part of daily life, and their passion inspired me to study catering at college.

I love seeing children try new foods and discover that healthy meals can be delicious. In this way, I feel I’m helping them get the best possible start in life.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing football and spending quality time with my family.
