MEET THE TEAM

I have worked in child care settings for over twenty years in various roles including management and training. I have completed my Foundation degree in Early years education and my BA Professional studies in learning and development allowing me to give a wealth of experience and knowledge to my role at Sunnyside. I am passionate about providing a safe and inclusive environment allowing the children to be curious and excited by the learning opportunities we provide. In my spare time I like spending time with my family, running and reading a good book.

In my own time, I like to spend time with my family making many memories!

Postgraduate Certificate in Professional Practice: National Award for Special Educational Needs Coordination

I have been a qualified teacher since graduating from university in 2003. I previously worked at an Infant School in Horley for 15 years, developing my career and experiences throughout the school. I have a real passion for working with Early Years, helping to ignite curiosity and enthusiasm for learning and enabling young children to acquire lifelong skills for the future.

In my own time I enjoy reading, swimming and going on walks and bike rides with my children.

I have worked with children and young people since I graduated from University in 2011. This includes children’s homes, nursery and pre school settings.

I find it very rewarding to play a key role in supporting children’s personal and educational growth in their early development.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, visiting wildlife centres, national trusts and hever castle.

My background is mainly in Health and Social Care where I spent almost 10 years working within the NHS.
More recently I have worked as a Teaching Assistant and 1:1 support in a local Primary School.

I really enjoy building positive relationships with the children, it’s so rewarding to see them learn and achieve.

In my spare time you can always find me doing arts and crafts with my two children, going for countryside dog walks or trying a new recipe for dinner!!

I qualified in 2002 with my Level 3 Diploma in Child Care and Education. I’ve worked across different child care settings, the majority being primary schools.

I’ve been so excited to start at Sunnyside, it’s special to me as both my daughters went here , now aged 13 and 7! So I feel so honoured to be a part of the wonderful team!

I love reading, anything arty and going on bike ride with my family, often to Forest Row!

I have previously worked in retail and help my partner with his business.

Since having children I have wanted to pursue a career in childcare.

I have worked in a local preschool and I am now excited to be here at Sunny Side.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and having adventures with my two boys.
