Ciara - Manager
Manager, Level 6, Paediatric First Aid Trained, Safeguarding Lead, Squirrel Key Group Leader.
My career in Childcare first started in 2018, since then I have completed a BA Honours Degree in Childhood and Youth Studies; Psychology and Education.
I enjoy managing the Pre-School, working alongside my team to inspire children to reach their potential. Leading by example is important to me and it is rewarding to watch all our little learners grow and flourish.
Outside of work I enjoy downtime with my Husband and our French Bulldog, Rodney. Together we love to go on family adventures, breaks away and holidays. A good book, coffee and walk is never of the table!

Jenna- Deputy Manager
Deputy Manager, Level 3, Pediatric First Aid Trained, SENDCO, Owl Key Group Leader.
I began my career in Childcare in 2009 and fell in love.
I enjoy learning new ways to encourage children to learn and fulfil their potential, each excelling in their own unique way! I make it my priority to develop positive relationships with our parents/carers to encourage smooth transitions and ensure the whole Pre-School experience is one of joy!
I have brought up four of my own beautiful children, I love to share a cozy night in watching films, with lots of popcorn or out exploring the local areas with our two doggies, Belle (French Bulldog) and Poppy (Labrador).

Holly - Third in Charge
Third in Charge, Level 3, Paediatric First Aid Trained, Inclusion Lead, Fox Key Group Leader.
Childcare is my passion, I have worked in the NHS as a Nursery Nurse on a children’s ward and on the Special Care Baby Unit. Since this time I have raised my own three children, when not at the park, or a family day out I like to bake or get lost in a book.
Working at Bovingdon Pre-school is equal parts enjoyable and rewarding, I feel privileged to be a part of the children’s lives educating and nurturing them throughout their time here.

I have worked with children since 1998, working as a teaching assistant between 2002 - 2004. I joined the Pre-school in 2024 as a 1:1 SEN support, which I loved, before going on to become a permanent staff member.
