Meet our Nursery Manager: Amy
I have over 25 years of experience working in Early Years, beginning my career as a Level 3 practitioner and gradually progressing into management. Over the years I have developed a deep understanding of child development, high-quality practice and the importance of creating safe, nurturing and stimulating environments. As a Level 3 practitioner I supported children’s learning through play, planned and delivered engaging activities, and worked closely with families to build positive relationships. Through dedication, continued professional development and hands-on experience, I worked my way up to become the manager of a setting, where I lead staff, oversee daily operations, support safeguarding, and ensure the highest standards of care and education. My journey reflects my commitment, passion and long-term dedication to giving children the best possible start in life. I look forward to welcoming you to our nursery.
