Notes
I first became interested in working with children whilst volunteering at the YWC play group in Loughborough about 12 years ago.

After studying at college for two years I gained my level 3 qualification as a Nursery Nurse and found a part time position as a nanny to two young boys who were an absolute pleasure to look after.

Eventually I was employed as a Nursery Nurse by The Whitehouse Day Nursery in Shepshed where I spent 7 1/2 happy years in the pre-school room. It was here that I gained experience in a senior role, becoming one of five deputies before deciding that I needed a slight change. This led to the decision to study further with the Open University to gain my Foundation Degree in early Years.

I have almost finished the first part of this course and intend to start the second this coming October, with a few more years study ahead still to come.

Since joining the After School/Holiday Club of Smisby Day Nursery in December of last year, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the school children, joining in their games and becoming their friend, but have also had the pleasure of spending brief times in the other rooms.

After spending ten years working mainly with pre-school aged children, I am very much looking forward to joining the Toddler room in July, which will bring a welcome change and the opportunity to get to know this age group better.
