A little about me...

I moved to England, from Canada, in 2001 and started studying childcare. I have since worked as a room leader in day nurseries, as a private nanny to several families, run my own childminding business and now managing Milton Mount Playgroup with tremendous pride. My passion has always been childcare and early years education. My passion for early years education extends to my volunteer role as a school governor at my children's school. My hobby is indoor rock climbing and I have combined both my hobby and passion to become an indoor rock climbing coach.

A little about me...

I have been working at Milton Mount Playgroup since 2008. I started as bank staff and have worked my way up to Deputy Manger. I have two little boys who have attended Milton Mount Playgroup. I don't believe there is such a thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing. I enjoy encouraging outdoor activities in all weathers.

A little about me...

I am a mum of two children who are in secondary and middle school. I achieved my level 3 in early years education after working in a different preschool. I am also trained to be a designated safeguarding lead. My next goal is to achieve a qualification as a SENCO. My passion is to be a part of children's journeys, to watch and support them as they grow with independence, happiness, strength and courage. I enjoy knowing that I helped and encouraged them step by step. I am also keen to introduce Makaton to as many young people as possible.

I've always felt passionate about the education of children, especially since studying Health and Social Care for GCSEs. ​This has let me to the decision of starting as an apprentice in an Early Years Setting and I am excited to have joined Milton Mount Playgroup.
