Description
Are you feeling drained, unmotivated, or overwhelmed running your nursery? You’re not alone — owning and managing a nursery is one of the most demanding professions in the UK.
I’m a retired nursery owner who missed working with children so much that I returned to do what I truly enjoy — working directly with children again. Since returning to the sector as a practitioner, I’ve identified key issues that often arise between staff and management. Having now been in both positions, I can clearly see the challenges from both sides and develop effective strategies to improve communication, team cohesion, and overall performance.
With over 30 years of experience in childcare and 15 years running successful day nurseries, I now specialise in helping early years settings strengthen every part of their business, including:
✅ Ofsted preparation and compliance
✅ Marketing and recruitment support
✅ Increasing children’s enrolment
✅ Staff wellbeing and retention
✅ Manager and Director support and mentoring
Owning a nursery can be rewarding but also exhausting. I’m here to ease your workload, support your leadership team, and help you create a thriving, happy, and confident setting.
Working with nurseries and early years providers throughout the UK.
Your challenges are discussed in complete confidence and without judgement.
