Notes
Coming from quite a large family, I was always looking up to my three older sisters. As they moved through their education, they all made the decision to persue childcare in different forms, so it felt only fitting to continue and train in childcare myself.

I first began my journey at Smisby in the summer of 2014 where I worked as bank staff for a couple of weeks whilst at college. This was my first job, and it left quite an impact. When I finished at college, I qualified with a Level 3 in childcare. I went straight to working in a primary school as a learning support assistant. I had an amazing time working in a school, gaining lots of experience working with a wide age range of children. It was after 3 years of working in a school that I craved a new challenge, and so left what I knew so well behind, and embarked on my new adventure at Smisby.

I am currently studying for my degree in education, and hope to train further after I graduate. I don't know where my studying will take me but I am open to any opportunities!

I have only been working at Smisby since April 2018, but I am already loving it! I am currently working in the Toddler room but I am so excited to see where my career at this nursery leads to! It's a pleasure to be a part of such an amazing nursery!
