  I have met many children and families in my time being at Teddy Bear Nursery, we have had children who used to attend return with their own children.
  
  I am very proud of the Teddy Bear Nursery team. They have worked extremely hard to achieve two Outstanding grades from Ofsted in 2011 and 2016.
  
  I have enjoyed watching the children come in as babies, go into the 2-3’s room, into the pre-school and then go off to school. It is amazing what the children have achieved.
  
  I passed my N.N.E.B – level 3 (Nursery Nursing Examination Board) in 1988 and have worked in Childcare ever since. I started working at Teddy Bear Nursery in 1996 and completed a Foundation Degree in Early Years through the Open University.

  I have worked in childcare more than 15 years and qualified with a Diploma level 3. I have completed Paediatric First Aid, Food Hygiene, Child Protection and other courses that keep me updated in Childcare development.
  
  I have worked in the baby room at the Teddy Bear Nursery for five years. I like messy play and sensory activities that babies can explore with my support.
  
  Initially I started as a childminder when my daughter was younger and then moved to a playgroup for a short while. I then worked in a private day nursery for more than ten years with children aged 2-5 years.
