Clare Little Gillian Martin
Nursery Manager
Hi my name is Clare Little and I have been manager since July 2012
I have worked at the nursery since October 2002 after leaving Weston College.
I have always loved looking after children and knew that I wanted to go into childcare from a young age.
When I first started at Weston I was based in the 1-2's age range before applying for assistant room manger in the Toddler room. Throughout my time at the nursery i have gained experience in all ages.
As part of a team I enjoy watching the progress of the nursery unfold as we are forever introducing new exciting initiatives and resources for the children to explore.
