I have over 16 years鈥 experience within the early years sector. I started working in early years as a trainee Nursery Nurse and now manage Children 1st The Marina Nursery School. I enjoy being able to lead such a wonderful team who always put the needs of the children first and are passionate about helping children to achieve their goals. I would love for you to visit our nursery, and to show you what makes The Marina an amazing place to be.
