Lovacott Nursery Staff

My career in Early Years has grown and developed over 17 years and during this time I have been fortunate enough to work at many different settings. I have managed at Lovacott Nursery since June 2019 and have a BTEC and National Diploma in Childcare.

My early years career began straight after school, qualifying with a CACHE Diploma in Childcare and Education 0-18 years. I have been lucky to have worked in a variety of settings, with my position ranging from Nursery Nurse. Room Supervisor, Supervisor, Deputy Manger and ‘stand in’ manager. I have worked at Lovacott Nursery since June 2020.

I completed my Childcare Level 2 qualification as soon as I left school, then I continued in education, completing my Level 3 in Health and Social Care. I progressed to completing my Early Years Foundation degree in Early Childhood. I have worked across both settings but have been a key worker at Lovacott since August 2020.

I have completed my level 3 diploma for the early years workforce, this is something I have always wanted to do since leaving school and now that my children are a bit older I have the opportunity to get it done!

I enjoy working with children with additional needs and love to see them reach their goals and grow into the fantastic little people they are.

When I’m not at work I’m either enjoying spending time with my 2 wonderful children or on the farm milking cows!

I have been working in childcare for many years in various settings and roles.

I have been based at our sister setting; Happy Hares since 2020, before going off for maternity leave to have my own little girl.  On my return I have decided to take on the permanent position at Lovacott Nursery

I have relocated from Hampshire to Devon and was thrilled to have the opportunity to work at both Lovacott Nursery and our sister setting, Happy Hares.  I hold an NVQ Level 3 in Childcare and Education and am a proud mum of four grown up boys.

I have worked in childcare for many years, my last job working in a pre-school for 27 years.  I have experienced every aspect of childcare, including Special Educational Nees (SEN), Speech and Language, Safeguarding and Mental Health.

Childcare is extremely gratifying; every day is not alike, and I get to work as part of a team that helps children to learn, grow and develop to their greatest potential.

I have always been interested in working and supporting Early Years children, so was very excited to join Lovacott Nursery as of June 2021. I will be completing my qualifications to become a nursery practitioner, alongside fulfilling a full time position.
