Meet the Nursery Staff

I am an Early Years Teacher with 10 years experience working with children ranging from  2.5-5 years old. I have always been passionate about working within the Early Years and believe children’s curiosities should be encouraged and that learning through playful experiences is extremely important to give them the best start within education. I am very excited for this opportunity to  create what I believe will be an excellent Nursery. I feel that having the Nursery within the school provides great advantages for a child, as it allows them to socialise with older children and makes the transition between the Nursery setting and Reception a smooth and exciting journey.

With a lifelong passion for caring for others, my journey began in Germany where I worked on a maternity ward and completed training as a professional childminder before moving to the UK in 2000.

Becoming a parent to my son in 2003, followed by my daughters in 2011 and 2013, strengthened my passion for supporting young children as they grow and learn.

Before joining Stapleford Community Primary School in 2017, I spent 15 years supporting elderly patients, including those living with dementia and Parkinson’s. During this time, I completed NVQ Level 2 & 3 in Health and Social Care and Clinical Care, building a strong foundation in compassion‑led support.

My path into early years education grew naturally from my experience of being a mum. Since joining the school, I’ve completed CACHE Level 2 & 3 in Early Years, along with an Early Years Educator apprenticeship, which I passed with distinction.

Today, I’m proud to be part of the Nursery team, helping our youngest learners grow, explore, and feel safe as they take their first steps into school life.
