Hi, my name is Rebecca, I started at ABC as a level 3 apprentice in 2010, I have worked across all the rooms in the nursery. I started as a senior in 2014 and have worked my way up from there, I was appointed the nursery manager at the end of 2019. I love my position here at ABC, it’s such a rewarding job to see children thriving in our safe, stimulating, and happy environment.
Our nursery is like a family, and we are always working hard to ensure that together we provide the little ones in our care the best start in life.
