Can you tell us a little about yourself and your background in childcare?
I am married and have two children, and our family is completed by our dog, Amber. We enjoy spending time together, creating lasting memories.
I have 34 years of experience working with children. I worked as a family support worker at a children’s centre and with the NSPCC, helping parents and carers in different early years settings. My job was to support families, offer guidance, and ensure the well-being of both children and their caregivers. This experience has helped me build strong relationships and create positive environments for children and families.
What led you to a career in childcare?
My passion for childcare and early years education led me to a rewarding career in this field. I have always been driven by a love for supporting young children and their families, and this passion has guided me throughout my professional journey. Providing support for families and helping children grow and develop has been incredibly fulfilling, and it continues to inspire me to make a positive impact in the lives of those I work with.
What makes Rainbow unique compared to other nurseries?
Our family-run nursery is dedicated to providing exceptional care and education for your little ones in a warm, nurturing environment which creates a community that feels like home.
