Background
I first began working with children when I was very young helping the children of the family. I knew I wanted to work in childcare and started work at a private day nursery following my A Levels. After working with 0-2 year olds and taking the equality and diversity lead and after the birth of my first son, Connor, I moved on to a fresh challenge and became manager in a large nursery in North Bristol.
Outside of work I have a love spending time with my friends. I live in North Bristol and and I love to get out and explore with my family.
I was looking for a fresh challenge and found a wonderful opportunity to run and help develop Once Upon a Time and I haven't looked back.
Education Philosophy
I believe children are all different and there is no such thing as a one size fits all philosophy. At Once Upon TIme we are small and personal enough to offer a truly individual childcare experience that is replicated in fewer and fewer places as we face the tide of large, 100 - 150 place nurseries that are becoming prevalent in our beautiful city.
Here at Once Upon a Time we are so proud to say that each member of staff knows every child and every parent (and vice versa) - we know about their homelife, their interests and what makes them smile and we can tailor every day to ensure we offer just what the children want and need.
