I started working in childcare over 10 years ago, I have recently relocated to Bedfordshire, from Sussex.
I can’t think of anything better than developing children’s knowledge and understanding of the world around them, their world is so important to them.
I like to spend my spare time attempting to revamp my garden and grow some fruit and vegetables with my 3 year old daughter. I spent my weekends travelling the country watching my partner compete in stock car racing.

I especially love working with young children as they are very honest, creative and full of joy.
I also love music, dance, dogs and all sort of sports.
First Aid Trained
I have worked in childcare for over 10 years.
I became a practitioner because I enjoy engaging with children in their play and supporting them on their learning and development journey.
In my spare time I love spending time with my children and husband.
I joined Growing stars when it first opened and I was starting my childcare journey. It has evolved into a lovely pre-school that is enjoyable for the staff and children alike.
I love seeing the look on the children's faces when they have worked hard on something and they achieve their goal.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and playing with my children.

As a mother of 2, I do understand how important it is for you, that your children are happy and thriving at the setting, so I always strive to give the care, attention and support for the children, which I would want my own children to receive.
In my free time I love spending time in nature, taking long walks with my family and I also love travelling.
SENCO Support Team
I am a Pre-school assistant at Growing Stars Pre-school.
I have 18 months experience in childcare and have 2 children myself.
I love working in early years and I am currently learning BSL level 1 and hoping to work with SEN children in the future.
I enjoy long dog walks, shopping, holidays and spending time with friends and family.
First Aid Trained
I have over 15 years experience within childcare, initially starting as a childminder where I completed my level 3 in childcare.
I have a passion for developing physical health and wellbeing, I love learning new things and watching children learn through play fills me with enjoyment.
I spend my spare with my family and friends, having 3 boys of my own to keep me busy.
I enjoy taking my dog for long walks around my local area and love spending time exploring the world we live in, travelling is a hobby of mine.
First Aid Trained
I have 15 years experience as a nurse and within nursing management. I have 3 children of my own, 1 of which has additional needs.
My passion for childcare has always been there but like most, changing from ‘what I knew’ was a challenge, a challenge that I embraced and wouldn’t look back, My only regret is that I didn’t make the jump sooner.
I have a love for learning about additional needs, ensuring the safety of child and safeguarding.
I hold my management and leadership status as well as completing my childcare qualification.
In my spare time I enjoy time with my family and friends, football is my life, playing taxi service to my 3 boys and husband.
Alongside football I like going for long dog walks through the woods with our dog and days out as a family.
