From quite early on it became obvious I had a passion for caring for children. My journey began in 2013 when I gained my level 3 diploma in children’s and young people’s workforce. I started working for Chestnut Nursery Schools St Giles in 2015, progressing to a lead practitioner shortly after this. I later became senior lead before I got the opportunity to become Deputy Manager at Sewell Park in 2019. I had the honour of helping to establish the setting and creating a beautiful space for children to thrive and develop. After almost 10 years in the childcare sector, I felt I had gained the knowledge and confidence to take on the role of Manager at Sewell Park. As the Manager of Sewell Park, I enjoy being able to build and develop the nursery space to make a calm, safe and nurturing place where parents feel confident to leave their children in our care. I feel a key part of my role is building relationships with staff, parents/carers, and children to ensure they have the support they need to thrive. It is a privilege to be such a big part of children’s development. I believe one of the best parts about caring for children is helping them to reach their goals and full potential. It is so rewarding to know you had a part to play. We aim to provide the best quality of care and education for children to give them the best possible start in life.

I started my journey in childcare as a practitioner in 2016 and since starting with Chestnut Nursery Schools in 2019, I have been given the opportunity to work my way up to a Deputy Manager and SENCO. My dedication to childcare is driven by my passion for shaping young lives and the opportunity to provide high quality care for children and their families. It is a privilege to witness each individual child’s growth, celebrate their achievements and create a safe, nurturing environment where all children can thrive.
