⭐️Meet the Team – Lesley

I qualified as a teacher over 20 years ago and have specialised in Early Years throughout my career. I am passionate about supporting young children as they learn, grow and develop, and I particularly enjoy seeing their confidence and curiosity flourish through play-based learning.

Creating a nurturing, engaging environment where every child feels valued and inspired to explore is at the heart of everything I do.

Outside of work, I enjoy walking my dog and spending quality time with my family.⭐️

Meet the team- Amanda

I have worked with children for 14 years and am currently completing my Level 3 Early Educator qualification.

I love watching children grow, learn, and discover what they can achieve. I am particularly interested in sharing books with children, as I believe reading helps to develop their imagination, confidence, and communication skills.

I also enjoy hands-on role play, as something as simple as a cardboard box can become so many different adventures and spark children’s creativity.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading, and going for walks. ⭐️

She is excited to continue developing her knowledge and skills in these areas and will soon be starting her Level 3 SENCO qualification.
