I am the dinosaur of the nursery, a mum to three grown up boys and a granny of 1.

I have been with the nursery from the start, in 1994! I have an Early Years Foundation Degree in Childcare and Education, a Paediatric First Aid Certificate, a Level 2 Child Protection Certificate, a Level 2 Makaton Certificate, the list goes on………!

I am the Nursery Manager and owner of the nursery, a role that I really enjoy even though, at times, I feel my age! but there is a positive side too, the children defiantly keep me young!!! I am very passionate about providing good quality childcare that is affordable to all. I enjoy nothing better that when a shy child joins the nursery, and over time develops into a confident little person ready for their next step on the education path.

I am also the nursery’s Special Educational Needs Coordinator and enjoy working alongside those families whose children need some additional support and helping them with the challenges they face as their child enters into the world of education.
My favourite colour is purple and I like the arty crafty activities and The Gruffalo storybook. When I’m not working ha ha! I enjoy catching up with family and friends.

I live in Sandhurst – not far from the nursery, with my 3 beautiful daughters. They keep me very busy but being mum is the best job in the world, they make me very proud! We also have a dog called Busta and a cat called Flossy,

 I have an NVQ Level 3 diploma in childcare and education which I completed at Yateley Sixth form. I have many more certificates such as safeguarding, First aid, Food safety, mental health in children,  too many to mention. I have worked with children for most of my adult life, in Nurseries, Nannying and now at Sandhurst Nursery School where I am the Nursery Co-ordinator. I have always had a passion for working with children, I love to watch them grow and develop into the best little people they can be, helping them experience and achieve new things, seeing them so happy each day is so rewarding.

 I love being outdoors exploring with the children, messy play is also one of my favourites along with playdough, painting, gluing, mark making in gloop, water play and so much more. I don’t consider myself to have a great singing voice but I do really enjoy singing with the children and reading stories

 In my spare time I like going for fun walks, bike rides, and camping.

Having family adventures and catching up with friends. One of my favourite places to be is at the beach!

 Rainbows are one of my favourite things, my favourite colour is Pink and my favourite story is Peace at last!

I am a mum to a young daughter, who keeps me very busy!

I have worked with Sandhurst Nursery on and off since 2020 in between and alongside my studies at university. I have completed 4 years of Early Childhood Studies and the nursery have supported and encouraged me momentously during these years. I am now an Early Years Teacher (Level 7), this is something I am extremely proud of as it has greatly widened my knowledge in aiding children’s education and preparing them for their future.

My favourite place to be with the children is outdoors with them, exploring nature, broadening their imagination and having lots of fun looking for bugs and playing games.

My favourite nursery rhyme is Wind the Bobbin Up, I love the book ‘The Run Away Pea’ and my favourite colour is Purple!

I joined Sandhurst Nursery at the end of November 2023 and I am really enjoying working at the nursery, the children and staff have made me feel very welcome.

I am very lucky to be Mum to 2 girls and 1 boy.

I have been working as a Nursery Practitioner for over 10 years and I really enjoy my role as a level 3 qualified practitioner and being able to support children, watching them learn and grow and I have a special place in my heart for those children who need a little extra support and recently completed my NCFE CACHE level 3 award for Special Educational needs Co-coordinators in Early Years settings.

Throughout my time in Early Years, I have obtained the CACHE Level 2 Certificate for the Children and Young People’s Workforce (QFC) and CACHE Level 3 Diploma for the Children and Young People’s Workforce (QFC).

 I also have a Level 2 certificate in Understanding Nutrition and Health as well as gaining my Paediatric First Aid training and my Advanced Safeguarding and Designated Safeguarding Lead level 3.

I enjoy spending time with my family, socialising with friends and making memories visiting different places with my children.

I love going into character and imaginary play with the children and enjoy arts and crafts.

My favourite colour is Pink.

I am a mum to a beautiful little girl and have worked in childcare since 2009  working in a variety of different childcare settings from full day care to term time only nurseries, I have also worked as supply practitioner which has given me a big insight into how different nurseries work. I have a level 3 in Children’s Learning and Development (Early Years Educator). I am First Aid trained, have a level 3 certificate in Safeguarding and many other childcare certificates, too numerous to mention. I enjoy being with the children and watching them develop from shy little ones joining the nursery for the first time to when they leave as a confident and happy child ready for the next step on their  educational journey. I like welcome time with the children, reading stories and playing games with them. I like it when we play with the parachute, play hide and seek and What’s the Time Mr Wolf and it makes me feel proud when I hear the children laughing and playing their own versions of the games.

Away from nursery I enjoy spending as much time as possible with my daughter making special memories with her and generally having fun. My favorite colour is Pink and my favorite book is The Secret Garden.

I am a mum of two and a nanny to four and live in Camberley with my husband.

I have worked in various early years settings for 17 years and have a level 3 NVQ in Children’s Care, Learning and Development, I am also First Aid qualified, Designated Safeguard Lead trained along with many more childcare related topics too numerous to mention.  I am very passionate about working with children helping them learn through play and every day is different! I especially like messy play, puzzles and generally talking to the children, some of the things they come out with you wouldn’t believe!

My favourite song is little Peter Rabbit and the children’s book that I love most is The Tiger Who Came for Tea.

At the weekend I love being with the grandchildren exploring new places and generally having fun. My favourite colours are pink and baby blue.
