Position: Owner

About Me

I used to be an air hostess - bet you can tell!
I trained as an infant teacher before opening our first nursery in Atworth in 1998.
Combining this with trying to raise four children didn't leave much time for keeping fit - my main hobby.

About Me

I'm 5'7" (a good height as I can see everything, even on high shelves!)
Oh, and I'm a vegetarian so don't eat any meat or fish.
My blonde hair doesn't reflect my personality! :-)
I have an older sister (Kat) and younger brother (Gareth) who both work with me here which makes me the 'middle child' I guess.
I absolutely love music and reading!
I'm a very creative person and am always inspired by my job. I LOVE CHILDREN!
When I was little I loved Alice in Wonderland (but the animated one, not the silly 3D one recently). I love Yankee Doodle Dandy as it was the first song sung to me but now I love Iris by the Goo-Goo-Dolls.
I love drawing smiley faces :-) and have serious OCD at work and love things to be clean.
I have a scar behind my left eye due to a lava lamp falling on my head. Oh, and I'm half Welsh and proud of it! I probably could have been a comedian. Or maybe a ballet dancer. But I love children too much.

My favourite colour

Pink / Yellow

My favourite animal

All animals (I'm a vegetarian, I love them all!)
My dog looks like a cow and I'm afraid of rabbits.

My favourite food

Hate!!! baked beans
