I joined Dauxwood in summer 2019 and I really love working here! My 2 children also came here and loved it. I have my Level 2 and Level 3 in Childcare and Education, as well as my Level 3 SENCO. I have worked with children for over 20 years and have worked as a ski nanny, private nanny, nursery room leader and in other preschools. I really enjoy my role here as the manager, it’s a lovely place to work.
