March 2017 - October 2017
Toad Hall Nursery and Pre-school.

I worked at this Nursery for a few months while searching for my next nanny role after relocating from Hove to Crawley.
I was based in the under 3s room and used this as an opportunity to refresh my childcare skills and add to my list of activity ideas.
Whilst working here I was offered the opportunity to apply for a team leader position. But after some careful consideration I decided that Nannying was definitely the career I wanted to pursue.
