About me

Hi, I'm Julie, a qualified teacher, dedicated preschool manager and proud mum. With over 13 years of experience in education, I’m passionate about creating nurturing, engaging, and developmentally appropriate environments where children can thrive.

 I am particularly passionate about early learning as it provides vital skills which help a child to not only progress through their educational journey but most importantly to become successful human beings. From birth to age 5, children’s brains develop more than any other time in life which is why we have to nurture our children to ensure that they are receiving the very best of us as caregivers all round. With Literacy leading being a significant part of my journey so far, I am passionate about books and love to teach through repetition, rhyme and role play. 

As both an educator and a parent, I understand how important it is to build trusting relationships with families and support each child’s unique needs.

At our preschool, I combine professional expertise with real-life parenting insight to ensure every child feels valued, safe, and inspired to explore the world around them.

In my spare time I enjoy a range of things: spending time with my lovely family; reading, exercising, cooking new dishes for family and friends; going on outings; travelling to new parts of the world and making memories to last a lifetime and beyond!

About Me 

Hi, I’m Sara, a dedicated Deputy Manager and proud mum of four. With both hands-on parenting experience and a professional background in childhood and early education, I understand the joys and challenges of raising and caring for young children.

Over the years, I’ve built a career around creating safe, nurturing, and inspiring spaces where little ones can grow, learn, and thrive. I’m passionate about fostering strong relationships with families and supporting every child’s unique journey through their early years.

At the heart of everything I do is a deep belief in the power of play, kindness, and connection. Whether I’m managing a team or comforting a toddler, my goal is always the same—to help children feel happy, confident, and ready for the world ahead. 

In my spare time I enjoy travelling to new places; exploring the culture and environment and spending time with my young family.

My name is Mina and I enjoy supporting the local Nursery and children by giving back when I can.  It feels good to give back to the children and the community of Brent by keeping our learning environment clean and safe. I have begun to take courses in Health and Safety, Safeguarding and child protection which furthers my child related knowledge and is very important when working with children.
