Meet the Team

Sarah Harrison

I have worked with children and young people for the past 7 years and have supported children with additional needs (and their families) in various roles. During this time I developed an interest in child development and qualified with Early Years Teacher Status in 2014. I’m committed to providing a safe and fun environment for your child to learn and achieve their full potential. 

I believe that building strong partnerships with parents and families is vital in ensuring development and learning is extended at home. I look forward to welcoming you and your child to our beautiful nursery!
