I’ve been involved in Pre-School since my children started in 2003. I was a Committee Member and Chair before moving onto the Staff Team in 2005, when I trained and obtained NVQ Level 2 and 3 in childcare. I took on the role of Deputy Pre-School Manager for 4 years and became Pre-School Manager in the summer term of 2018. I love Pre-School, the community aspect and the lovely outdoor space and freedom of outdoor learning for our children to grow and explore before they leave to go to school.

I have a Level 3 childcare qualification and have worked in childcare since leaving school. I have been at Pre-School since 2010 and have taken on the role of Deputy Pre-School Manager since 2018 I enjoy watching the children grow and helping them to start to develop their skills for life. Also, no two days are the same when working with children!

I have an Education Studies degree and in 2019 completed the Postgraduate Certificate in Early Years with Early Years Teacher Status. During my time at university I gained a lot of work experience in different schools, mainly working with children in KS2. After graduating I worked as a teaching assistant in a local primary school. I have worked in early years since 2016. I love working in early years, I personally find it one of the most rewarding age groups to work with. The best thing about working with children is watching their confidence, creativity and personalities grow and develop. No day is ever the same and the children constantly surprise you with the things they say and do.

My experiences of working with young children began in 2008 when my first child was still a baby, and I took over the running of the Attenborough Mother and Baby Group along with two friends. We ran the group for a year. All of my 3 children went to Attenborough Church Pre-School and had such a wonderful time that I was motivated to join the management committee and ultimately became the Chairperson of Pre-School for 2 years. I have been a member of staff since January 2016. My background was being an accountant, but I have enjoyed working with young children so much that I have completed a post-graduate degree at the University of Derby and gained a qualification as an Early Years Teacher.

I joined Attenborough Church Pre-School in 2016, but I have been working in childcare since 2005. I have an NVQ Level 3 qualification in early years alongside a NCFE classroom assistant and British Sign Language qualifications. I work with children because I like to see their achievements as they grow and develop, and to smile with them every day. At Pre-School I particularly enjoy organising various cultural events for the children. I am also a staff committee member. I have 2 children and in my free time I enjoy cooking,walking and yoga.

I realised I wanted to work with children whilst doing Heath and Social Care at school. I joined Pre-School in January 2018 as an apprentice. I have completed my Level 2 in childcare and have now qualified to Level 3. I like to see and help the children to grow and develop.

I am Level 3 Qualified in Childcare Learning and Development. I also have a daughter. I absolutely love working with children, seeing and helping them grow, develop and become their own individual person. I joined Pre-School in October 2020 and I am loving being part of such a caring and dedicated team of people. I have taken on the role of Language Lead at Pre-School from Easter 2023.

I have worked in Early Years since I left school in 2004 and am really happy to have joined such a lovely team in November 2020. I have 3 boys of my own who keep me busy in my free time.

I joined Pre-School in January 2021 to start an NVQ Level 2 Diploma in Early Years. I have lots of experience with children from my younger siblings. I enjoy being part of a team that is so dedicated to the Pre-School. I have now completed my level 3 NVQ  Diploma in Early Years and am now a fully qualified part of the team.

I am NVQ Level 3 qualified in Childcare, Learning and Development and have worked in early years since 2008. I really enjoy helping children achieve their goals and believe all children should have the best start to their education. I have 3 grown up children and am now a Grandparent. In my spare time i enjoy watching sport and spending time with my family.
