After my 2 boys were born in 2010 and 2012, I decided that I wanted to be a stay at home mum.

I have been working at Chestnuts Nursery and Pre-school as the Business Manager since 2016. After working at Chestnuts Nursery and Pre-school for 2 years, I decided I wanted to pursue a career in childcare and qualified as a Level 3 Early Years Practitioner in 2017.

Both my boys went to Chestnuts Nursery and Pre-school.

Qualifications:

I have a degree in Economics and have completed my NVQ3. However, my
passion will always remain in childcare.

Experience:
I have been in childcare since 1995, when I started to volunteer in local
nurseries as a student, whilst working across settings and with local families.
During this time Iʼve also completed courses in safeguarding, first aid, food
hygiene, behaviour management and paediatric first aid.

Iʼm also a mother and understand the importance of a great start in the
educational life of a child.
