Some of you may have already seen Amy around the setting as she has already spent some time with us. We would like to give Amy a warm welcome to the 22 Street Lane team.

“I have been lucky to spend a number of years abroad. I spent 10 years working within childcare clubs mostly in Greece and France. Since returning to the UK in 2013 I have been working in a private day nursery and have been the manager since January 2015. I am very proud to say the nursery was graded Outstanding by Ofsted in 2017.“ “I have recently completed my BA Honours in Early Childhood Education and my Early Years Teacher Status. I am now studying a Masters Degree in Early Childhood through the University of Sheffield. I have a true passion for working within the Early Years and love to see young children learn and develop. I believe play is a really important part of young children’s development and that we should follow children’s interests to support their learning. I am really looking forward to becoming part of the team and a part of something special at 22 Street Lane.”

I have gained a lot from my previous experience and I look forward to bringing it to 22SLN and to further my knowledge and learning in this environment. I look forward to working with the younger children and getting to know them and their parents/carers.”
