I grew up in South Africa and left to travel at the age of 18. I spent the next 7 years working as a nanny and childminder in the USA and then the UK. I have always had a passion for working in early years and decided to gain my qualifications to be able to work in a Nursery environment. While doing this I realised there was a real need to provide children so much more than what was on offer. My dream of starting my own Nursery and giving children the very best start in their little lives began.

After gaining my qualification in Early years and a Diploma in Business Studies I opened the doors to the Old School Nursery in 2002 with 3 children and 6 staff. Together we have created a ‘home away from home environment.’ where your precious little ones will learn, grow, flourish and be loved and cherished. Being a Mum myself to my gorgeous son Jake. I can fully understand and appreciate what it takes to provide the very best environment for your precious children.

With 25 amazing, highly experienced and qualified staff we will do all we can to support you and your child during your journey with us. I am incredibly proud of what we do at The Old School Nursery and the difference we make to the lives of children at such an important stage of their development.
