Emily - Manager
I have worked here since 2013, first looking after the children going up to school, and as the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator, and now as the manager. I am a qualified teacher, (BA, PGCE, QTS) before I worked here I was a foundation stage teacher, and I have worked in nurseries and kindergartens abroad. I have paediatric first aid and safeguarding qualifications.
My favourite thing about working here is seeing the world through our children’s eyes.
I love seeing their enthusiasm and wonder when exploring!
Wendy - Deputy Manager
I have worked at playgroup since 2004. My children came here when they were little!
I have a Level 3 NVQ in Early Years Education, and Level 3 Safeguarding, as well as paediatric first aid and food safety qualifications.
My favourite thing about playgroup is seeing the children feeling happy, secure and playing with friends. I love seeing how the children learn and progress through play and become ready for school.
Julie - Office Manager
I have Level 2 TQUK Children and Young People's Workforce qualification, safeguarding, food hygiene and paediatric first aid. Before working at playgroup, I worked in London as a professional dancer performing in musicals in the West End, Europe and across the UK.
My favourite thing about playgroup is seeing all the smiley faces when the children greet us, the hugs and the stories they like to tell us.
