Rebecca: L3 & QTS Playschool Manager and DSL

I have always worked in education and can't imagine doing anything else! It is such a privilege to nurture the little ones at Playschool and watch them grow and flourish. Their curiosity and imagination are inspiring. I have two grown up children and a cat and enjoy ballet, walking, reading and dark chocolate.

Georgina: L3 Deputy Manager

I'm mum to three wonderful kids plus our three pets; two cats and a rabbit. In my free time, I swim once a week and take dance lessons four times a week in tap, ballet, jazz, and a mixed-style dance called DDMIX. I also enjoy art and love to paint when I have the time! One of the things I love about working with children is that each day presents a unique and rewarding adventure - no two days are ever quite the same, and the constant surprises keep me inspired and engaged.

Arpik: L2 Deputy DSL

I like how everyone is welcome and the family feel of the environment at Playschool. Love, care and laughter, that’s what I enjoy the most.

Niroshini L2

I have three children. I love working with children as it's an opportunity to watch children grow and develop their confidence into self-sufficient learners. Also, it's an enjoyable and rewarding experience with continuous learning for both the children and me. I love cooking, listening to music and most of all spending time with my family.

Ioana: L3 SENDCO

I am a passionate and excited practitioner who enjoys spending time with children and watching them flourish and develop over time; that for me is the best part and most rewarding feeling. I have two wonderful children that I spend my time with besides work . We are a little team and enjoy spending time together, visiting arts and cultural places, as well as nature trails, hikes and kitchen dance parties in our pajamas !
