Over ten years’ experience of caring for children both in an educational setting as well as a supporting the previous operation of family entertainment centre.

I have a deep-rooted passion for providing the best possible care to children, outstanding service to our parents in a well organised, thriving and fun environment. I have lead the OOSC since it opened in September 2015. I am extremely proud of how the provision has developed and is constantly improving, through parent and pupils’ surveys, "you said - we did" as well as day to day pupil voice.

I regularly monitor and evaluate our services to ensure that the club continues to meet the needs of the children, parents and carers.

The team, led by myself, will ensure that we provide a programme of activities often linked to the curriculum that are interesting, educational, stimulating and fun.

I will continuously promote a positive relationship with parents/carers and work in partnership with them to provide high quality play and care for their children.
