Step Start Mountnessing

I’m passionate about creating a warm, welcoming environment where both children and families feel supported from day one. I’ve been part of Step Start for several years and love leading a team that shares the same commitment to care, education, and exploration. Every day is a chance to make a difference, whether it’s supporting our little ones as they grow in confidence or working closely with our team to bring the very best out of each child. I’m all about consistency, quality, and making sure our Step Start values shine through in everything we do.

I’m Level 3 qualified and have been working in childcare for 8 years. It’s a career I’m truly passionate about - there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing children thrive through the support and care we provide every single day. Step Start is such a special place, where every team member is dedicated to creating a warm, friendly environment that helps children feel safe, happy, and ready to learn. I love adapting activities to meet each child’s individual needs, helping them access learning in their own unique way.

I completed my Level 3 in 2018 and have been with Step Start ever since! I always knew I wanted to work with children, and from my very first experiences, I realised how much I enjoyed supporting their early development. What I love most is helping to create a positive first experience of nursery, for both children and their families. Every child is unique, and I’m passionate about making sure they feel happy, confident, and ready to explore. I’m always on the go and love being busy, it’s just part of who I am!

I’m a Level 3 qualified practitioner with a real passion for helping children grow and thrive. I’ve worked with little ones for years and also volunteer as a Beaver Scout Leader, so creating fun, nurturing environments is second nature! I love being part of the amazing team at Step Start; it’s a place full of support, smiles and shared wins. I’m all about messy play, sensory fun, and outdoor adventures, especially when we’re digging in the garden or exploring nature.

I have been working in childcare for many years and am Level 3 qualified. I love working with children and watching them grow and develop every day, it’s so rewarding to be part of their journey. The staff are lovely, welcoming and always supportive, and it’s a pleasure to see the children each day. I am passionate about helping children develop their skills and enjoy all areas of play. I’m also a bubbly person who loves to talk!

I’m a Level 3 qualified practitioner and have been working in nurseries for nearly 5 years. I’ve always been drawn to supporting children’s development - it all started with volunteering at my old primary school. At Step Start, I love how happy and settled the children are, and the welcoming, home-from-home feel makes it such a special place to be. I have a real passion for supporting communication and language, especially through early phonics, and I’m always bringing in a creative twist with art, painting, and a little bit of dancing too!

I started as an apprentice at Step Start, completed my Level 3, and now lead the Big Steps room. I’ve also trained as a Level 3 SENCo, and supporting children with SEND is a real passion of mine. I love helping every child thrive and become the best version of themselves, and there’s nothing better than seeing the pride on their faces when they achieve something new!
