Staff

I joined St Joseph’s Pre-school in September 2013 and I have a BAHons Degree in Early Years Education Studies and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) in Primary and Early Years.

I enjoy working at St Joseph’s Pre-school as you are able to see the holistic development of the child. I see children become more confident socially and academically while being in a fun and safe environment where they are able to risk-take.

NB: Natalie is currently on maternity leave

I have worked at St Joseph’s Pre-school from September 2014. I have a Level 3 diploma in Childcare and Education.

I really enjoy working in St Joseph's pre-school. I feel, as a team, we all work really hard together ensuring the children develop in a positive, fun and safe learning environment.

I started working in St Joseph's Pre-school in June 2017. I started as a 1:1 practitioner and enjoyed supporting the child to develop and learn; guiding them in a fun and caring manner.

I completed my Level 3 in Childcare and Education in March 2019.

I started at St Joseph's Pre-school in September 2023. I will be working as a 1:1 within the setting.

This is my first childcare position however I have three children of my own and am very keen to learn and develop further within the field.

Brenda is qualified to Level 3 and has worked many years for St Joseph's Pre-school and St Joseph's Nympsfield Out of School Club. Although now retired, we are fortunate that she continues to be willing to provide Bank Staff support as and when needed.

I joined St Joseph’s Pre-school in October 2024, and through working at St Joseph's Nympsfield Out of School Club, I have gained experience helping children learn and grow.

I enjoy working with the preschool team to support every child to gain confidence through learning but most importantly to have fun.

I joined St Joseph’s Pre-school in May 2018, having been on the Committee as secretary in 2014-15 when my son attended the Pre-school. I have a BAHons in Business Studies with Combined Studies together with a Level 5 NVQ in Operational Management. I also have over 10 years’ experience of working in government inspectorates, including Ofsted.

I am delighted to be working for this thriving Pre-school which my son attended, and support the Chair, Treasurer and Lead Practitioner in the day to day operation of this lovely, family orientated Pre-school.
