I joined Greenfields Nursery School in 2001 after firstly gaining both my NNEB Diploma in Early Years and valuable experience in both childminding and working within our local Primary School for 8 years.
Since starting at Greenfields I have primarily been based in the Pre-School room, very much enjoying providing a stimulating, caring and fun environment to help prepare our 3-4year olds for their transition to their Primary schools.
I believe that Greenfields Nursery prides itself in providing a warm, nurturing and educational environment for all of our children, and enjoy being part of our dedicated team.
