Meet our Nursery Manager: Adam

Childcare has always been present within my life, with my mum being in childcare for as long as I can remember. This opened a door for my career to begin, working my way up from an apprentice to a practitioner, from a room leader to a deputy and finally where I am today as a manger. With an ingrown focus on SEND and supporting those that have additional needs, my management style is one of leading from the front. I will often be seen in the rooms helping both practitioners and children in whatever way I can. Having been in childcare for the past 11 years in Essex and London, I have now taken the plunge and moved to Wales where I live with my fiancée. Growing up in a women centric household, I am well aware that some children will grow up with limited or no male support in place. I want to be that male support for those that have no access to it, being a male role model is all I’ve ever wanted to be.
