A little about me - I’ve worked in childcare since the age of 16, starting as an apprentice and working my way up to Head Nursery Manager. With over 22 years of experience, I’ve gained a deep understanding of childcare and child development. Along the way, I’ve completed extensive training, including DSL, SENCO Lead, and Prevent Duty. I’m a firm believer in continuous learning and reflection, which helps me grow both personally and professionally.

I’ve been the Nursery Manager at Hamond House for over 10 years, and I genuinely love every aspect of my role. From ensuring the smooth day-to-day running of the nursery to supporting and mentoring staff as they progress in their own careers, I take great pride in the work we do together as a team.

Outside of work, family is everything to me. On my days off, you’ll usually find me outdoors—enjoying long walks in nature or soaking in a beautiful view (I can never resist one!). More recently, I’ve also taken up fishing, and I’m really enjoying the mix of peace and excitement it brings.
