Hi, my name is Vicki, I live in Quedgeley with my husband. Two of my children still live at home, while my eldest has moved into his own house. I also have an English Springer Spaniel who we love going on long walks with, especially when down in Cornwall.

I have a L5 Foundation Degree in Early Years, alongside a L4 in Early Years Management and a L3 SENCO. My previous roles have been Manager of a local Early Years, where I have been for the last 10 ½ years, before that I was Manager at another play group for. I have worked in Child Care for the last 24 years, before that I worked at Cheltenham General Hospital on Battledown Children’s ward, and in the Special Care Baby Unit.

I am passionate about ensuring every child enjoys their time learning and developing through meaningful play experiences to reach their full potential and I strive to enable them to develop a love of lifelong learning.

I feel honoured and privileged to be part of your child’s educational journey and look forward to getting to know everyone.

It has always been my dream to work with children, and i have been lucky enough to work at Kings Stanley Playgroup since I left school in 2016. Previous to that, I also carried out my work experience and volunteer work at the Playgroup too.

I look forward to welcoming back some familiar faces and meeting some new ones too.
