Meet the Team

Hello, my name is Clare and I am the Centre Director here at Lightwater.

I began my career in childcare and education 20 years ago as a qualified nursery nurse in a private day nursery. During this time, I gained experience working with children of all ages and my career progressed to room manager, deputy and manager. I also achieved my NVQ assessor's qualification and worked as a training officer supporting the learning and development of future nursery nurses.

My commitment to continued professional development also enabled me to graduate with a first-class degree in Primary Education with QTS and I have been teaching since. During my degree, I specialised in Early Years as I believe this is where all the magic happens and builds the foundations for life-long learning.

I look forward to welcoming families to our fantastic day care nursery setting in Lightwater.
