I'm currently in my fifth year of teaching and being involved with Early Years. My classes have all been mixed Reception/Year 1 classes, but I've been really enjoying working with the children at preschool during my supply teaching period. In September, I will be starting a Masters in Speech and Language Therapy which I am really looking forward to! When I'm not teaching or studying, I like to be outdoors - whether that's walking my dog, Reggie or playing football. 

I was previously a researcher at a business organisation in Westminster, but after a career break, decided to retrain as as Early Years Practitioner. I started working at St Michael's Preschool in 2023 & gained my Level 2 qualification in July 2024. I love seeing children's natural curiosity & seeing their perseverance pay off to develop new skills. I live locally with my family & enjoy spending my free time with family

& friends, gardening & being outdoors.

I started as an Early Years Apprentice at St. Michaels Preschool in 2024. I previously worked at a doctors surgery in Stevenage, but wanted to pursue a career in Early Years education. I qualified as an Early Years Practitioner in September 2025. Seeing young children flourish and grow is a wonderful experience and I’d love to be a part of their journey, I am a mummy to two children whom I enjoy doing arts and crafts with, having outside adventures and taking our little Frenchie dog Roxy for a walk.

I have recently started as an Early Years Apprentice at St Michael’s. I previously volunteered at a setting with down syndrome children and have also helped out at many sports leader events, running activities for various year groups at school. I look forward to watching the children grow and learn at Preschool, whilst being a part of what they achieve, with guidance and support. In my spare time I like to play netball, keep active and spend time with family and close ones.

I am currently training towards my Level 3 Early Years qualification. Prior to this I ran my own café for 10 years. Both of my children attended St Michael's Pre-school and I was also a member of the management committee. I've always wanted to work in childcare, so feel very fortunate to be able to study towards a qualification, working with local children, in a setting I know so well. I love spending time with my children and family, as well as gardening and caring for our multiple animals!

 I have been working at St Michael's since 2019 & deal with admissions, funding & all other administration. I live locally with my family; both children have attended the Pre-school and the primary school next door. Being able to work locally, seeing familiar, friendly faces from the community & watching little ones joining the Pre-school & then move on to 'big school' is a privilege!
