Sally -Nursery Manager
Hello, my name is Sally and since April 2013 I have been the Manager here at Wulstan’s Lodge Childcare. My career in childcare spans over the past twenty-four years, where I have worked in various settings since gaining an N.N.E.B Nursery Nurse qualification. My employment history includes working in Private Day Care Nurseries, as a Children’s Holiday Representative, in Primary Schools, as a self-employed childminder and as a Childcare Assessor. I am a very proud mum to two beautiful girls and a gorgeous rather large black Labrador called Hettie. Working at Wulstan’s Lodge ensures that I can remain as the female version of ‘Peter Pan’ the girl that will never grow up! Often spotted in fancy dress, poised and ready for the next adventure. There is never a dull moment here at the Lodge, with fun always top of the agenda (usually organised chaos!) I endeavour to lead a team who will provide fabulous care for children, providing hours of enjoyment, where children can learn through their play in a stimulating and exciting environment, whilst creating early, special and everlasting memories.
