The Langley Heritage Nursery

I strive to create a thriving, supportive community where every child and member of staff feels valued.

I qualified as a teacher in 2012 and achieved my NPQH before becoming Headteacher at The Langley Heritage Primary in 2021. Since then, I’ve been passionate about leading with kindness and inclusivity.

Together, we have achieved a strong Ofsted rating, results above national averages, and grown into an oversubscribed school. We believe our shared values of unity, ambition, diversity, kindness, and resilience have helped us in our journey.

I am deeply committed to providing all children with a high-quality, inclusive education where no one is left behind. Nurturing both staff and pupils is central to everything I do. I take pride in fostering a happy, welcoming environment where everyone feels they belong and can flourish.

Outside of school, I’m a busy mum who loves cheering on my two very active boys at football matches and making time for long walks. I try to build in exercise whenever I can—it keeps me balanced and ready to give my best both at home and at school.

A dedicated mum of two, I bring over seven years of experience working in an operations role within a school environment.

With a strong background in Human Resources, Health & Safety, and Safeguarding. I have worked in various childcare settings. I am passionate about creating safe, supportive, and enriching environments for both staff and children.

My role has involved training and developing staff across various functions. This ensures compliance and best practices while fostering a culture of growth and collaboration.

Driven by a passion for giving children in our community the best possible start in life, I strive to make a meaningful impact through my work every day.

I’m always on the go, but I make sure to carve out time for the things I love—especially music. I enjoy going to concerts whenever I can and often take my children along, so they can experience a variety of music genres with me. It’s a way to combine family time with my passion, while sharing the joy of live music with them.

I believe in learning through play, nurturing a lifelong love of learning through engaging, meaningful, and memorable experiences.

With over 12 years of experience in early years education — spanning training, reception, Year 1, and nursery — I am passionate about giving every child the best possible start in their learning journey. I hold a BA (Hons) in Early Years Education with QTS and have previously led teams as Reception Year Lead, Year 1 Lead, and EYFS Lead.

One of my proudest achievements has been seeing the expansion of our nursery provision and welcoming new staff into our growing EYFS family. My ethos centres on building strong, positive relationships with children and parents, working together to help every child progress and thrive.

I began my career in childcare in 2015, following several years of school-based work experience and a college course that sparked my passion for early years education. I hold a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Early Years, and I’ve also taken SENCo and Safeguarding Lead courses. Alongside these qualifications, I’ve completed training in children and young people’s mental health and various other specialist childcare courses.

Over the years, I’ve worked in a range of roles, including Baby Room Leader, Nursery Room Leader, Third in Charge, and Deputy Manager. My proudest achievement so far has been helping to prepare our new nursery for opening — working alongside the manager to create a warm, nurturing environment where children can learn and grow. I am really looking forward to welcoming our families and watching and supporting their little ones.

My ethos is: to help every child learn, grow, and excel. I’m passionate about supporting their development and celebrating each milestone along the way. Outside of work, I’m a big Disney fan and have loved babysitting for family and friends for more than 14 years.

I'm thrilled to be part of the nursery team! I have three years' worth of experience in early years education. Two of these years were as a teacher at Langley Heritage Primary and one as a Learning Support Assistant in Reception at a different school. I hold a First Class Degree in Biochemistry with Physiology and a PGCE at Masters Level. I also have additional CACHE Level 2 certificates in Playwork and also in Understanding Children’s Mental Health.

My experience covers multiple year groups, including Nursery, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5. In addition to teaching in Nursery I currently lead PSHE and RSE and co-lead Mental Health across the school. In my roles in previous schools, I have held different positions of responsibility including English Lead, RE Lead, Year Lead and Year 1-3 Phase Lead. One of my proudest achievements in my current role is seeing the children make progress and happily settle into nursery.

I’m passionate about nurturing a love of learning, supporting wellbeing, and exploring neurodiversity in children. Outside of school, I enjoy running, tennis, reading, and spending time in nature. I love gardening and discovering new places with family and friends.

With over 20 years of experience in early years education, I’ve seen just about everything — and loved every minute of it! I hold a BTEC National Diploma in Early Years and I’m Paediatric First Aid trained. These qualifications have helped me support children’s learning, safety, and emotional wellbeing.

Before having my own children, I worked as a nursery nurse alongside health visitors. This role deepened my understanding of child development and family support. Throughout my career, I’ve also worked as a Teaching Assistant in various nursery settings, and now I’m proud to lead our pre-school room.

One of the most rewarding parts of my role is helping children settle in, feeling nurtured, and learning — all while having fun! I love seeing children engaged, curious, and happy — whether it's carpet time, working one-to-one, or in small groups.

As a mum to two energetic boys, I know the value of outdoor play and adventure. I try to bring this same energy into the nursery every day. When I’m not at work, you’ll find me out and about with friends or enjoying the fresh air with my family — always up for a bit of fun and exploration!

I love working in childcare. I have over four years of experience working with children aged 9 months to 5 years. I hold a Level 3 qualification in Early Years and have continued my professional development through a range of courses which have focused on best practice in early education.

Throughout my career, I’ve held roles as a Nursery Assistant and Deputy Room Leader, gaining experience in creating supportive spaces for young children. My proudest moments come from watching the children I care for grow into individuals, and from progressing through roles as I overcome new challenges along the way.

I’ve always known I wanted to work in childcare and play a part in a child’s early journey. When I am not at work, I love going for walks and exploring new places with my husband.

I have over three years of experience working in early years education and have cared for babies, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. I’m currently completing my Level 3 qualification in Childcare, so I can continue to build my knowledge to help children learn, grow, and thrive.

My proudest moments come from seeing children grow in confidence, supporting their development, and helping them get ready for school. I love creating fun, engaging, and creative learning experiences that make every day exciting for the children. There’s nothing better than seeing the kids excited to come to nursery, ready to learn and play!

Away from work, I enjoy spending time with my three children, especially when we’re singing, dancing, baking, or heading out for fun family days together.

I have two years of experience in early years education and hold a TQUK Level 2 Certificate in Children and Young People’s Care. Before joining the team, I worked at Marish Primary School as a Lunchtime Assistant and Nursery Support Staff. This is where I discovered how rewarding it is to support young children as they explore, learn, and develop.

One of my proudest moments was supporting a shy child to build confidence and communication skills through encouragement and play. By the end of the term, they were happily joining group activities and forming friendships — moments like these remind me why I love what I do.

My ethos is to create a nurturing and inclusive environment where every child feels safe, valued, and confident to explore, discover, and learn through play.

I’m excited to be part of the nursery team! I’ve spent the past two years working in early years education and hold a Paediatric First Aid qualification. This has helped me feel confident and prepared in supporting little ones.

Before joining the nursery, I worked as a cleaner and dinner lady. These roles helped me discover my natural connection with children. It made me realise I wanted to work in childcare.

One of my proudest achievements has been helping nervous and shy children settle in and feel safe and welcome in their new surroundings. Seeing them grow in confidence is incredibly rewarding. I’m currently working towards my Level 2 Teaching Assistant qualification so I can further develop my skills.

At home, I’m a proud mum of three and a grandmother to two — including my lively two-year-old granddaughter who lives with me. She keeps me on my toes, and we love spending time together exploring through play and going on little adventures. In my spare time, I enjoy making memories with family and friends, especially playful moments with my granddaughter.

After completing my NVQ Level 2 in Early Childcare at Slough and Langley College, I started my journey into early years education. I’ve spent the past year working as a nursery practitioner at Adventure Learning Day Nursery. This is where I discovered my natural gift for helping children feel safe, settled, and understood.

I take pride in being the person children gravitate towards when they need comfort or reassurance. My proudest achievement is the trust I’ve built with little ones — many are given to me to help settle, and I’m honoured to be that calming presence in their day. I believe understanding children is at the heart of great childcare, and I strive to create a space where they feel happy, secure, and ready to learn.

Reliable, trustworthy, and hard-working, I bring dedication to everything I do. Outside of nursery life, I’m also an Indian Classical Dancer and have worked as a dance teacher. This role has taught me patience, rhythm, and the joy of creative expression. I try to build these qualities into my work with children, helping me connect with them in playful and imaginative ways.

With over 11 years of experience in early years education, I bring a deep passion for supporting children's development through play, creativity, and care. I hold a Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification and began my journey by volunteering at an after-school club while studying at university. After graduating, I worked as a playworker and lunchtime supervisor, which sparked my interest in the education sector and led to a Teaching Assistant role.

As a patient and nurturing mother of two, I love engaging in child-led play — from imaginative role play and active sports to storytelling and arts. I’m dedicated to helping children grow in confidence, language, and social skills, always with plenty of laughter along the way.

My journey has helped me build a strong foundation in childcare and early years practice, and I continue to enjoy learning and growing in this rewarding field. I have a deep love for gardening and being in nature, which I enjoy sharing with children to spark curiosity and calm. In my spare time, I cherish outdoor adventures with my son and daughter and treasure every moment we spend together.
