Laura Williams - Nursery Manager
In 1998 I qualified in childcare after completing my CACHE Diploma in Nursery Nursing, NNEB). After working in many different childcare settings within my home country Wales I decided to broaden my experience and move abroad and work in childcare in summer resorts, Mallorca and Ibiza and ski resorts in France, Meribel, Tignes and Courchevelle.
During my career in the last 10 years I have a vast experience in Childcare within schools, nurseries and as Nanny, gained experience in childcare management, recruitment and marketing. I started at Dolphin Nursery and Preschool in September 2009 and am excited for an excellent career working with some great staff and caring for some wonderful children.
