Hello. My Name is Emma and I am the Owner of the Cressex Day Nursery. I previously worked for Janice at the Sandcastle Nursery as one of her Managers where I had worked since I qualified with my Diploma in Nursery Nursing in 1996.
I have been the Managing Director of the Cressex Day Nursery since January 2011 and during this time both of my children have grown up attending the nursery and are now at primary school.
Being a working parent myself, I know how hard it is to juggle the home / work balance and finding the right nursery can be very daunting, especially if you are leaving your little one for the first time.
I have had the pleasure of guiding Cressex through two Outstanding Ofsted inspections and if you click on the Ofsted link you will be able to see why are so special.
Out of nursery I enjoy spending time with my Husband and two children. I also enjoying attending concerts and days out in London with my girlfriends and I have recently taken up running and completed my Couch to 5k.
I have a wonderful team of staff with a wide range of experience, each bringing something special to the Nursery. If you are interested in finding out more please give us a call or drop us an email where we will happily answer your questions and book you in for a show round.

My name is Claire. I started my career at the Cressex Day Nursery in October 1996. Since joining the setting I have had many opportunities to train and progress in my professional career. Starting as a nursery assistant I progressed through the rooms to my current position as Nursery Manager and Graduate Leader. I lead and manage a fantastic team of qualified and experienced staff who are all dedicated to providing outstanding care and learning opportunities for young children. Together as a team we aim to provide a home from home experience which caters for all children and families' individual requirements.

Hello I'm Piglet room leader. I have worked with children since 2006 and have been at Cressex since 2013. I am married and my husband and I love to travel. My favourite thing to do is explore. I also get to do a lot of hikes and camping as I am a Beaver Scout leader. Currently all this has been put on hold as I have recently given birth to our first child. I have enjoyed my period of maternity leave and have re-joined the staff in cubs with added insight of being a working Mummy.

Since then I have continued my studies gaining an NVQ level 3 in Early Learning and Childcare, BA (hons) and EYT status. I am currently deputy head of Cygnets room working with the oldest group of children so preparing them for school.

Hi, My name is Shannon. I have been working at the nursery since I was at school doing an after-school job. Then, in September 2018 I started working full time. I have loved it every step of the way. When I'm not at work I enjoy dance and listening to music as well as road trips with my friends.

I have been working in childcare since 2003 and have looked after children aged between birth and 8 years. I can honestly say that I love working with all ages. I have 2 young boys of my own, one at school and one at pre-school. We enjoy lots of fun activities together outside and I especially like being creative and making things in my spare time. Recently I helped plan equipment for the Piglets garden which my partner then made up for us.

I have completed my Level 2 in Early Learning and Childcare and now hope to move on to the Level 3. I especially love doing creative activities with the children and helping design their displays. Outside of work I volunteer at my local school with outings. I am mum of 4 children aged between 21 and 5. I spend all my spare time making them happy. We enjoy going to parks, swimming and walking the dog. During this time I am always getting ideas and deciding what to create next with the children at Cressex Day Nursery. I recently made and decorated some tables and chairs for the Piglet and main gardens using recyclable materials.

My childcare career began in 2011 when I first started as an apprentice and from there I gained my level 2 and 3.

Hi, My name is Vikki. I have been working in childcare in many different settings from nurseries, schools and residential childcare services for over 30 years. I have three grown up children and two grandchildren and I love to spend time with them all, as often as possible. I enjoy walking my dog, going to the gym and the cinema,and spending my free time with my family, including my partner and my parents.

I have worked in catering for many years, including schools, nurseries and staff restaurant settings. I work alongside the nursery cook preparing snacks and meals as well as keeping the kitchen spotlessly clean. In my spare time I practice yoga once a week. I have taken part in two action challenges - completing a 10K and 25K walk. I am aiming for 50K next. I am looking forward to getting to know all the children and taking part in cooking activities with them.

I have been working in Nurseries as a cook since April 2016 and joined the Cressex Day Nursery in November 2019. I am delighted to be preparing nutritious meals and snacks for all children in the nursery using fresh produce. All meals are prepared in accordance with Nursery procedures and Health & Safety of Food regulations. We have developed seasonal four week menus to provide a varied range of food for all the children. As I like to learn, every day for me is a new challenge. At home I like to cook for family and friends. I have a young son and as a family we enjoy going shopping, on nature walks and travelling to meet people of other cultures. Our favourite winter activity is curling up on the sofa sharing a big bowl of popcorn.
