I started at PIPS Nursery in September 2025 after seeing how much my daughter thrived at PIPS at Boytons. I have always worked in childcare, having previously worked as a Primary school teacher for the last 10 years and completing further training to become a Maths Mastery specialist. I loved working with older children but I have realised how important the Early years of development are – how essential it is for them to be in a nurturing environment, to be outdoors as much as possible, to learn through play as well as through more adult led activities. Working at PIPS allows me to continue working with children, which I have always loved, but focussing more on the children’s social and emotional areas of learning. I have loved witnessing the children grow and develop even in the short space of time that I have been here and that is what makes this such a rewarding environment to work in.
