Play A Way Day Nursery Care Team

Jemma

Nursery Manager

I have been with Play-a-Way family for almost 14 years. Last year I completed my B.A (hons) degree in early childcare and education. I have worked across all the areas of the nursery from being baby room supervisor to toddler room lead to now being the manager for the past three years. I really enjoy working at the nursery and enjoy teaching the children through different activities and like to watch the change as the children grow in confidence from when they first begin their journey with us. I have two of my own children who both attended Play a Way from when they were around seven months old until they went to school and they both really enjoyed their time in the nursery making new friends and learning lots of new things.

I look forward to meeting you in the future and providing a fun, welcoming and homely nursery for your children.

Tasha

Deputy Manager
