Position: 

Assistant Room Leader | PANDCO

About Me:

I have been working in childcare for coming up to 10 years now, supporting all age groups from babies to Pre-schoolers.

Working with children is so rewarding. I love creating opportunities to support ever changing interests and curiosities! Every child has their own unique way of learning. It’s so fulfilling helping them to develop new skills and to see them put these into practice.

I joined the Monkey Puzzle Astwick team in 2020 and instantly felt at home here. The setting is absolutely beautiful and we are lucky to have access to amazing outdoor spaces which the children really thrive from. During my time at Astwick I have also had a daughter of my own. She absolutely loves coming to the nursery and will come home excitedly chatting about her day with a big smile on her face!

In my spare time I enjoy shopping, cooking and spending time with friends and family.

An interesting fact about me…

I’m currently learning British sign language!
