The Team

I have been able to fulfil this dream of mine by having an amazing team of practitioners that are so passionate about their day to day role. We are always looking of ways in which we can improve our provision but It has been amazing to see so many children and their families  leave happy and ready for school and every year we feel proud of all the things children have achieved with us. 

Hello! I've been working at Hopscotch since 2014 looking after the preschool children. I qualified in 2006 gaining my NVQ level 3 and years later went onto graduate gaining a degree in Early Years Education in 2014 from Bath Spa University. I love my job, every day is different and you gain a real sense of achievement working alongside such brilliant minds, which are continuously developing. I feel we are privileged to be a part of this and it’s important for me and the rest of the team to use this opportunity to help them develop to reach their full potential in life. Studies have shown that through helping children develop their self-confidence and self-esteem early on, they gain higher achievements later on in life.

Hello! I have been working at Hopscotch since 2013 and have enjoyed every minute of it! I thrive off the children’s achievements and it’s over whelming to watch how eager the children are to learn. This in itself makes me enjoy coming to work every day! I am currently completing my Early Years Degree allowing me to have a deeper understanding of children and their development. I love bringing this back into nursery and adapting the children's learning into fun, exciting and beneficial learning opportunities. 

Hello! I have been working at Hopscotch since 2011 and I am so happy here! I have a real passion for working with children and enjoy following the children's lead in exploring our imaginations and creativity (unleashing the child within me).
The children become part of such a wonderful family and I feel privileged to be a part of it. I really do feel that I have the best job in the world!

Hello! I would like to further my career in childcare because I would like to help the children develop. I love having fun with them and watching their personalities shine as they become more confident. 

Before Hopscotch, I was working as a qualified full time Norland Nanny in London for the last 10 years. Since then I have travelled to work as a Nanny in Abu Dhabi and the Cayman Islands. I have always enjoyed working with children and find them such a joy to be around. Hopscotch is lovely Nursery to work in and I feel very privileged to work amongst such lovely girls.

Hello! I have been working at Hopscotch since February 2016. Before that I attended here as a student through Bath College. I have learnt so much already and can’t wait to continue learning about children and their development.

I realised how much I enjoy looking after children whilst taking care of my nieces and nephews. Seeing the world through a child's eyes and watching them develop and grow is something that is very special to take part in. Which is why I have chosen to work towards a level 3 NVQ at Hopscotch and I can tell how much the girls here love what they do, there is a lovely close family spirit here with the children. I am looking forward to learning so much more along the way and working towards a fulfilling career in childcare.

I have a natural warm caring personality with a love of developing children's minds through play. I am as happy in the mud kitchen as I am reading stories, getting dressed up as a pirate, drinking pretend cups of tea, cooking cakes, building dens or getting covered in paint, glue or glitter! I love to get creative with the children, making lots of things allowing them to explore lots of different media, explore their imagination and follow their own ideas. Working in Early Years, your days are always fun, each one is different and very rewarding, that's why I love what I do! I'm always looking for new and fun ideas that will engage the children and their interests and make each day a valuable learning experience.

Hello! I’m really excited to begin my journey with hopscotch. I have worked in a previous nursery for nearly two years alongside beginning a degree in Early years! I have since developed a huge passion with working with children and seeing how they develop, as well as passing my skills and knowledge in to practice.

Hello! My passion for working with children came from looking after my cousins, this made me realise that being around children was the environment I wanted to progress in. I’m really looking forward to starting my apprenticeship and progressing my career at Hopscotch!
