Position: 

Early Years Quality Manager

About Me:

I work closely alongside our management teams at Sevenoaks, Bromley, Orpington and Tunbridge Wells nurseries. I have worked in Early years for over 15 years and I could not imagine doing anything else. I love being a part of watching the children develop and grow, supporting them to reach their personal milestones.

I have previously supported and led Ofsted inspections supporting nurseries to achieve OUTSTANDING outcomes. I felt extremely proud that we had achieved the highest standards for our families and team.

I have had experience in a variety of different roles, I started my childcare journey, newly qualified as a bank member of staff. I was offered a full time position as a nursery nurse and not long after I became a Room Supervisor and began to develop my leadership skills.

A few years later I was given the opportunity to work as a third in charge in the nursery. This is where I gained more managerial skills and began the children and the teams across a range of ages. After a few years, I was a Deputy Manager where my passion for supporting children continued to flourish and I added the role of SENCO, supporting children with additional needs and further developing our inclusive practice.

I continue to support many children with additional needs, their families and our staff teams with children’s learning outcomes working closely with the Kent and Bromley Boroughs and relevant agencies.

As part of my role, I support with providing enabling environments and with the quality of teaching and learning.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and going on holiday to visit new places.
