I am passionate about giving every child the best start on their learning journey. I want to give each child support in discovering, exploring, learning through play in a welcoming, friendly, safe and nurturing environment. Every child is unique and that's what makes the job so exciting, exploring different experiences together with our wide range of activities, resources, media and materials.

I love working at Rainbow Pre-School, and getting to know the children and their families. We work closely as a team to support all the children to help them feel safe and secure, so they can flourish as they grow up - you really see their little personalities coming out! I enjoy doing messy play with the children, especially playdough. Rainbow is such a warm, welcoming, friendly setting for staff and for children.

I enjoy playing and interacting with the children and supporting their learning and development. It is a real joy watching children making progress, however small those steps may be.

I have worked as a pre-school assistant for many years and it's amazing to be back as part of the team at Rainbow, which is such a friendly and welcoming setting. I absolutely love my job; it's so rewarding to see the children's abilities and confidence growing constantly as they get ready for school.

Helping and taking care of children is such a rewarding job and Rainbow Pre-School is a loving and caring environment. I enjoy supporting every child at the early stages of their learning journey to help them grow in confidence and develop towards their full potential.
