Hi, I’m Alison and I’m the Manager at Charnwood Preschool & Out of School Club.

I’ve been part of the Charnwood Nursery & Preschool family since 2004, and I still feel just as passionate about what we do today as I did when I first started.

For me, the most rewarding part of my role is seeing both our children and our team flourish. I love supporting our staff to be the very best they can be by role modelling high-quality practice and creating an environment where everyone feels valued, confident and inspired.

Every child is unique, and I believe they should be given the time, encouragement and opportunities to learn, play and develop at their own pace. Watching children grow in confidence, reach their milestones and celebrate their achievements, whether they’re big or small, is a real privilege and one of the reasons I love working in early years.

Being part of each child’s journey and helping to create happy memories that last a lifetime is what makes this career so special to me.
