Our Team

“I have worked at the nursery since May 2014, having previously worked for a global financial institution.  I am married with 3 children and understand how important it is for parents to find a flourishing environment for their children in the early stages of their development.  For me, it is all about seeing the children happy, settled and enjoying nursery - alongside content parents who are safe in the knowledge that their little ones are having a lovely time learning.  Being there for parents and children at all times, is a really important part of our ethos and for me personally.” 

"As the Director of Education at SMART, I oversee the curriculum development and implementation of best practices based on theoretical and practical developments in Early Years. I hold a BA Hons degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Roehampton and have previously managed several nursery sites. My passion is to create child-centred, holistic learning environments that empower children to explore, create, and discover their full potential. I will be supporting the team in delivering high-quality care and education to improve the outcomes for children and meeting parent expectations. When I'm not working, I'm busy being mum to my own little Picasso!". 

"With over 30 years in the childcare sector, I bring a wealth of experience, having worked across a wide range of nursery settings—from large chains to smaller, more intimate environments. As a mother of a grown daughter, I also bring a personal understanding of the importance of nurturing young minds. Throughout my career, I have held several management and senior positions, but my true passion lies in working directly with staff, children, and families to create a nurturing and supportive environment. I have a deep passion for childcare and family values. I take immense pride in nurturing young minds and supporting families. I am fully committed to staying up to date in the field and sharing my knowledge with my team to ensure the highest standard of care. I feel truly honoured to be in such a rewarding role and to be part of each child’s learning journey at SMART.”
