Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Lee Park

A teacher plants the seeds of knowledge, sprinkles them with love and patiently nurtures their growth to produce tomorrow’s dreams” As a mummy of two busy children, I understand and respect the importance of ensuring every child receives the best OUTSTANDING childcare they deserve.

I believe children learn best when feeling safe and secure within their environment. Learning takes place through play, especially focused activities within their interests, engaging their imagination and expanding their knowledge of the world. Creating and extending opportunities for children through their play has always been my passion and I take great pride in supporting my team to educate our children in this way. I believe encouraging children to be confident, independent, and full of self-worth is key to giving them a firm foundation on which to build their future. I strive to ensure that communication is high quality.

I hold a Bachelor of Education Foundation Stage degree, Qualified Teacher Status and qualifications in Business Administration and Management alongside completing my Operations Management Course within childcare. I have over 20 years of experience within the childcare sector which mostly is within Early Years. My vision is to create an outstanding learning environment where children feel safe, unique and are valued.

I have worked in the early years sector for 21 years now, starting as a practitioner and working my way up to Nursery Manager. I hold a full level 3 qualification in early years, a level 5 in leadership and management and I am currently completing a level 4 in special educational needs.

I have a passion and commitment to providing the best quality education and care for all children, ensuring every child has the best journey in their most important formative years. I am always striving for the best and like to work closely with the staff team to ensure they have strong knowledge and understanding. I believe all children deserve the best possible start in their formative years, and I am dedicated to achieving that for all.

I am a mum of one, my daughter is 13 years old and has Autism. As a mum, I understand how important the relationship between nursery and family is. As a mum of a child with SEND, I also know and understand how important inclusion is and will always strive to ensure our nursery is as inclusive as it can be and every child fulfils their potential.
