June
Hello, my name is June and I have been working with children since I joined St Oswald's pre-school in 2004. During my time here I have achieved Level 3 Diploma in Children and Young People's Workforce. As well as being a qualified paediatric first aider with Epi-pen training, I have up-to-date safeguarding training, I am the lead professional responsible for safeguarding in our setting, management training and more specific courses such as maths in early years and schemas.
I took over ownership of the pre-school in 2016, which I run with a fantastic team of enthusiastic, experienced and caring staff. I firmly believe that developing good relationships with parents is key to ensuring that we work together to provide the best possible start for your children. I live locally with my two grown-up children.
