Experience

I have had 20 years experience working with all ages of children. After leaving school I did a two-year nursing course. I then worked for two years in a private day nursery, where I obtained my Montessori Teaching Diploma.

After this I spent five memorable years working in a girls' boarding school where I had my own nursery class and was resident house matron. My next move was to work as a manager at a nursery school.
