Having worked in a variety of roles at Magic Tree Nursery over seven years, including being promoted to deputy manager in June 2018, I felt more than ready to take on the role of manager when it became vacant. I’m extremely lucky to be surrounded by a close-knit team of highly qualified and caring staff, most of whom I have worked with since I joined Magic Tree. Everyone was and is incredibly supportive of my new position. I am absolutely delighted.

When I left school, I completed the BTEC National Diploma in Child Studies at Harrogate College before gaining my first job at a nursery in town. I spent several years working in a variety of settings across the area, including time as a private nanny for a number of families. But after having my first child, I decided to go back into a nursery. The job at Magic Tree came up, and I’ve not looked back since.
