I have just taken on the role of 2 Year Old Lead Practitioner, attending termly support groups to improve the learning environment and lead the 2 year progress checks for children.
I am also the Charity Representative for the nursery, recently raising money for Children in Need, Save the Children and World Down Syndrome Day. I have also organised a collection for the Christmas hampers for Farnborough Foodbank.
I enjoy working at the nursery as every day is different and I enjoy watching and supporting each child to reach their potential.

I have worked in the nursery for over 4 years. It’s different every day and you work with a variety of characters. I find it interesting working with the individual needs of each child and it encourages me to push myself. It is also very rewarding to hear the appreciation from parents.
