I wanted to see a little bit more of the world, so took off to explore some of Europe while working for the holiday company Mark Warner. Having worked several seasons in Greece and finally in Egypt I met my husband and welcomed my first son. With my son starting school I joined another local nursery and progressed to Room Leader. I love that in my job, no day is the same; one day you could be an explorer in the Amazon jungle, and the next you could be covered in gloop investigating the world of letters and numbers.

I started as a Nursery Practitioner and was able to work my way up to Nursery Manager. After having my daughter (who now attends Toddletown and loves it!), I decided I wanted to get back to spending more time with the children and so the Deputy role at Toddletown is perfect for me.

Throughout my career I’ve had the opportunity to work with all ages and in all different roles from practitioner to manager. The journey has taught me so much about child development, supporting families and mentoring staff. My passion was driven by watching children flourish from a baby, to a confident, curious and happy child ready to go to school. There is no beter feeling then knowing you were apart of that growth! Becoming a manager has given me opportunities to share my love, passion and knowledge to staff and help them grow into the best practitioners they can be. After recently having my son, I knew I wanted a nursery that truly had the children at the center of every decision and shared my passion, and that’s why I picked Toddletown.

I had my son Theo, who is 6, when I was nannying. I decided to come back into nursery life, for the joy of nursery environments for myself and Theo. Since returning to nurseries I have worked towards being a Room Leader, Trainee Deputy and now Deputy Manager. Toddletown is the perfect place for me; no day is the same and there is nothing better than watching a child flourish and grow every day. Toddletown allows me to still give so much time doing the job that I love but also balance my time with my son and family.

  I joined Toddletown in 2020 where I worked at the Farncombe setting as baby Room Leader and Nursery Third in Charge. From my very first day, I knew that Toddletown was the place for me. The ethos of allowing children to be children and the value held within the importance of play is something I believe in strongly.
