Edie is our bubbly, fresh-out-of-school apprentice.  She has joined us to gain her Level 3. She is superb with the children and is extremely mature for her age.  She is very tuned into all the children's needs and knows everything about all of them.  She is the first to give them all hugs and cuddles. We are excited to watch her grow under our leadership.  Her enthusiasm and common sense are exemplory.

Diana joined us after working in another nursery. She is a pleasure to have on board and will always go that extra mile for everyone - nothing is ever too much trouble for her. She is studying at college to complete her level 3. She has a beautiful son, who she is immensely proud of, and juggles her work and home life incredibly well. Her enthusiasm to learn is very welcoming.

Liliia Napadiuk

Liliia, is our gorgous lady from the Ukraine, who sadly can't start studying till she has been in residents in the UK for three years.  She is keen however to go on as many courses as she can.  She is always laughing and nothing is too much trouble for her.  She has a daughter, so she has seen it all before. Her tidying up is awesome.  She is definately the fastest person in the West!

Caroline Rumney

Caroline joined us after spending 20 years in management.  Her wealth of knowledge is incredible and the staff all go to her as their "go to".  She is a wonderful calming influence on the staff and the children and a great asset to Jolly Tots.

Patrycja Woojtysiak

Patrycja is a very bubbly and fun member of our team. She is always smiling and having lots of fun with the children. She takes her studies very seriously and has come up with some lovely activities for the children.

She is Polish and therefore is an incredible asset to have for our bilingual Polish children.
