It is my firm belief that the first few years of a child's life are critical to support a happy healthy and successful adult life, that's what made me choose Early Years as my career. Bubbles is a space that strives to ensure children flourish.

I love working in Early Years because it is the foundation for the start of a child's learning and development. A good foundation provides the building blocks for greatness!
Selina Ashton
Preschool Administrator
I have been working in childcare in one form or another my whole adult life, with children ranging from birth to 18 years old. I keep coming back to Early Years! I just love being part of a child's formative years and seeing their personalities come out and shine! I enjoy getting to know children and their families and I take such pride in being a tiny part of their early years journey!
Sarah Mansbridge
Management Support
After a career in Equine Science and Nursing, I never expected to be as passionate about Early Years as I am! What children learn in Early Years will help build the foundation for the rest of their lives, I am a big advocate of learning through play, letting the children be curious and teach them to problem solve. I love seeing the children thrive!
Victoria Chirilenco

I believe that Early Years are a critical period for development, with the education and care provided during this time influencing children's future, education achievements, health and overall happiness.
Elaine Allen
Blue Group Lead
Language Lead
I love reading books to the children in Bubbles and would sit in the reading area all day reading to them if I could. It's a great way to encourage communication either by talking about the pictures or about their vocabulary. This in turn helped to improve their vocabulary and introduces new words and comprehension, helping to give them confidence and manage feelings

Having grown up around lots of younger family members, I’ve always loved working with children and watching them learn and grow! Their eagerness to learn about the world around them is one of the many reasons why i enjoy working in childcare. I’m very passionate about working within the SEND team and seeing and being a part of the children meeting milestones.

I was a childminder for over 27 years, caring for children 0-13 years. I love being part of a Child's life, watching them Learn, Grow and Flourish.
1:1 support is so rewarding and fulfilling. Helping to build a trusting relationship, to help them gain their confidence, language skills, and independence.
Samantha Lear

Working in an Early Years Setting is such a fulfilling role. I love coming up with new and exciting ways to include the children in making and preparing their own snack, and also letting them explore new tastes with a healthy and balanced diet.
Carla Willis

Working with children is my passion, their natural curiosity brings excitement and many opportunities for fun and joy. I believe every child needs an individual approach and will flourish with lots of love and understanding, this is at the heart of my approach.
