This journey has given me the opportunity to support children, families, and staff teams by sharing the knowledge and skills I have developed over the years. I have extensive experience as a Designated Safeguarding Lead, SENCO, and Behavioural Support Lead. I am currently completing my Level 5 qualification to continue growing and updating my professional knowledge. I take great joy in working with the children, whose unique personalities ensure that no day is ever the same. I bring an understanding and gentle nature to my work to ensure every child feels listened to, valued, and supported. Outside of work, I love being in nature and surrounding myself with plants at home, so I am especially excited to be part of a nursery with a passion for being outdoors. I also enjoy baking, knitting, anything creative, reading, going to the gym, and learning new things. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/c06203bd-e50b-4894-8fb1-a69e327eddd1/processed-8ea81f6c-eba4-4ddd-bf02-b3bfadfd560a_HexDcFj7.jpeg Our Team - Amy Deputy Manager , Business and Admin Lead I first started my journey in Early Years in 2015. I started off as an apprentice and have developed my experience and knowledge over the years working in all age groups, progressing to my current position as Deputy Manager. In my current role I have specific responsibility for supporting the organisational and administrative tasks of a busy nursery and I have discovered my interest in the business and finance aspects of the business. I help parents and support them with organising paperwork, booking places, settling into nursery, and answering any queries. I have been lucky to have started at The WonderWorks from the very beginning in August 2020 and have worked alongside a fantastic team that has enabled me to progress into the position I am now in. What do you love most about working at The WonderWorks? The fact that there is always a calm entrance when you get to work. Being greeted by a happy team and happy children is something I love about working at The WonderWorks. At The WonderWorks everyone has a voice, especially the children. Seeing them treated with respect and given the chance to learn things independently, with support from the Teachers when they need it, is lovely! Now I am working more in the office, I love being able to pop in to the rooms and engage with the children, and can see the huge progress in their development. This is something I appreciate every day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/6bce00a1-ba61-4eed-98ca-1efb499b70fa/CHELSEA.jpg Our Team - Chelsea Early Childhood Programme Manager I have been in childcare for over ten years now, I have worked my way up from a Nursery Teacher to Room Leader, third in charge, Deputy Manager and now am the Programme Manager. I have also worked as a travel nanny and in the crèche onboard Disney cruise lines. I have been with the WonderWorks since we opened in 2020. I started in The Burrow room (2-4 years) as a Nursery Teacher before becoming the Room Lead, I then moved to The Nest (under 2’s) and was promoted to a Deputy Manager. I am now the Programme Manager which means I support the whole team and company with our approach, curriculum and pedagogy.” What do you love about working at The WonderWorks? “I love working at the WonderWorks as the approach is all about the children. I love that a big part of working here is all about learning and that’s not just the children, it’s us too! I love how Hygge the nursery always feels and how the children are truly respected as individuals. I enjoy supporting the team and their development as well as the children’s. I am so glad that The WonderWorks is here to support families in the film industry and I am happy to be a part of that. My favourite thing about working here would have to be seeing the children daily and all the milestones that we share together https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/b665ca35-adb9-4ce7-a2ff-9897f63f454c/Website+photo.jpg Our Team - Paula Specialist Early Childhood Educator I have been a passionate early year’s educator for thirty years and have a range of invaluable experiences working with children of different ages and abilities. I have worked as a youth worker, a Mencap play scheme manager and a nursery nurse in the nursery of a local primary school. On a personal level, whilst raising two daughters and working part time I gained my first class degree in Early Years and Education. I then went on to become the manager of a privately owned nursery before I embarked upon my exciting journey here at the WonderWorks, in June 2022. I find my role as an Educator rewarding and enjoyable privilege. On a daily basis I ensure that I continue to gain a wider knowledge of our children, their interests and their cultural capital. This allows me to work with our amazing team, to support all of our children to become independent learners and reach their full potential. What do you love most about working at The WonderWorks? “Being part of an initiative To Keep Families in Film is an honour, as my husband, our two teenage daughters and I are avid film fanatics. Working for the WonderWorks has allowed me to immerse myself within a nursery where I can continue to grow personally and professionally, believing in their ethos and ambitions by putting the children at the core of all we do. What job could be better! Than encouraging children to develop self-esteem and independence whilst experiencing an enriched Reggio and Hygge play and learning environment. Where they can explore, take risks, embark upon new challenges and most of all have lots of fun, making lasting memories and friendships. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/7e9271d4-68cd-4de1-9cd4-63c0110049aa/tempImageVsE8ha.jpg Our Team - Lorenta Senior Early Childhood Educator I hold Qualified Teacher Status and gained my qualification in Romania (Geography and English Literature) and I came to UK in 2014. I have been working as an au pair for 4 years and from 2018 until 2020 I was a Nursery Practitioner in a small and lovely nursery in Farnborough. I am very interested in child psychology and in understanding how the little ones become motivated to learn and develop, also I like to explore their social, emotional, and cognitive processes that are involved in learning. What do you love about working at The WonderWorks? I have been with The WonderWorks since we opened in 2020 and that has been the beginning of one of the best chapters of my life. I have worked in The Burrow and also The Nest. Working with children and being part of the film industry is simply the perfect combination for me and every single morning I thank my lucky star for giving me this amazing opportunity. The WonderWorks is unique in every single way, and it has the best approaches one could find in early years. We are proud to say we are a big happy family, and I personally can't wait for us to grow and develop together! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/cd0ed5d6-7d3f-4dfe-bc29-55c2e5ea6d94/IMG-20220726-WA0003+%28002%29.jpg Our Team - Niamh Specialist Early Childhood Educator I have been working in childcare and early years for 13 years, my love of early years started when I volunteered at my local youth theatre as an assistant for sessions. Then I went on to complete my BA in Education studies and Early years at Liverpool John Moore University where I had many different placements in schools, children’s centres and nurseries. This is where I decided to specialise in early education. I have since worked in a couple of nurseries starting as a practitioner and making my way up as a Preschool Room Leader then Team Leader before taking my role at The Wonderworks in October 2021. Since then, I have also taken on the role of leading our Holiday Club which has allowed me to develop my knowledge and work with older children What I love most about working at the Wonderworks? Working at the Wonderworks with the approach allows the children to feel like they are at home with the environment making them feel calm, safe and comfortable. This is what I love because it helps them to thrive and develop their skills in a unique way. Working with children is a unique and incredibly rewarding job I love that it allows me to bring out my inner child by playing alongside them creating my own characters, making voices, and acting out stories. There’s nothing better than when a child reaches a milestone, they have worked so hard towards whether it be putting on their shoes, saying a sentence or using the toilet independently it fills my heart with joy and pride. Being a little part of their life journey is a true honour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/d935a88f-c196-4fbf-885f-8958a7a32901/IMG-20220701-WA0011+%28002%29.jpg Our Team - Rhianna Early Childhood Educator I have always had a passion caring for children from a young age. Childcare was a chosen subject of mine in secondary school then from leaving school I went onto college to study art and design which is also a passion of mine. Childcare was the career path I wanted to persue so I went onto becoming an apprentice in a nursery and achieving my level 2 qualification and now having nearly 4 years experience in the childcare industry. What do you love most about working at The WonderWorks? What I love about working at The WonderWorks is working alongside great knowledgeable teachers and The WonderWorks approach towards the children’s learning and development, enabling and encouraging them to be free to explore and discover new interests, and make their own choices on their own unique learning adventure and getting to be a part of that. I also love observing the children being in flow and capturing those valuable moments and sharing them with their parents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/2d08dd4e-49d1-4cab-bb9f-67c7ab870c06/IMG-20220920-WA0001.jpg Our Team - Poppy Senior Early Childhood Educator I am level 3 qualified with 9 years childcare experience. Working with children is something I have always wanted to do, so as soon as I left school I went straight for an apprenticeship. This really was the best path for me to take as I was learning whilst studying. I started by doing my level 2 and without hesitation I knew I wanted to go on to do my level 3. Having previously worked in 3 different nurseries. I have seen many successful ways of working with children and picked up a number of skills and throughout this time. I have attended and completed several different courses based around childcare, which has helped my knowledge and understanding even more. What do you love most about working at The Wonder Works? It's so lovely to be part of The Wonder Works team. Working alongside such a great team who, together, we ensure the children are happy and safe. I love is seeing the children grow and develop, being part of their journey and helping them in every way we can. I have created some lovely bonds with the children which makes special moments even more special. I really like the Wonder Works approach as it's based around the children and their interests. This has helped me get to know the children really well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/a7139a0b-fc00-4b6b-8feb-bb1baa36cf9b/LD.jpg Our Team - Laura Senior Early Childhood Educator After graduating University just over ten years ago with a degree in Media Production I have worked in various roles in both TV and film. Most recently spending the last six years working as a Transport Coordinator for various productions in Leavesden Studios. Through this I have seen first hand the need for a nursery like The WonderWorks, the huge benefits it gives to families working in film and also the pressures family members face in this industry. I have three nephews that I adore and always love spending time with and this is what first made me think a career in childcare could be something for me. I have recently gained Early Years Teacher Status (EYTS). What do you love most about working at The Wonder Works? The WonderWorks has allowed me to combine both my passions, working in such a friendly, supportive environment in which I can't wait to grow and develop and help make an incredible difference to both the children and their families. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/6dae8d16-e8b6-4193-bb80-48c9f62044c1/Kesley+%28002%29.jpg Our Team - Kelsey Early Childhood Educator I have always enjoyed children’s company, watching them grow and build a life of their own. My interest for children’s development started at quite a young age. I have a very big family and have been around children all the time, whether that was baby sitting or just enjoying some family time. I completed childcare in secondary school and absolutely loved the subject and wanted to learn more about the psychological side of development, not just within children but within adults too. After completing college with a level 3 NVQ in Health and Social care with applied Psychology I wanted to begin my journey in the childcare industry. I am now studying towards my level 3 qualification. Working at the WonderWorks is like a home away from home. I love watching the children develop into their own person, exploring and testing their limits. Being with them on their journey through life is so important to us, making sure they’re happy and making memories they can look back on. The WonderWorks approach allows the children to learn, explore and take risks, allowing them to make mistakes and learn from each other, in a fun, inviting, and safe environment. To be able to work within the team and see the world through the children’s eyes reminds me of how excited I was to learn and discover. Being a part of that journey is definitely something I look forward to. What do you love most about working at The WonderWorks? When I joined the WonderWorks I immediately felt so welcome and at ease, not only by the children but the staff as well. Being in an environment where everyone is appreciated for what they do is so lovely! Everyone here supports one another whether it’s something big or small, we are like one big family and I so thankful to be apart of such an amazing team. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/f1ed4e42-732c-4f4f-b7a3-fac2dfac2dac/VS.jpeg Our Team - Victoria Specialist Early Childhood Educator- SENDCO I started my 14 years experience within children’s care and welfare as a foster sibling, then a foster parent, having a passion for providing care, support and a safe environment for children’s development; this led me to seek my own career and education within the sector. I started with volunteering in nurseries, schools and youth groups, sparking my passion further. I have now completed a University bachelor's degree in Educational Studies & Early Years. This was a great opportunity to study different educational theorists, children’s literature and learn about Statutory Frameworks. I have worked within different childcare settings for 10 years now. Throughout my experience I believe supporting children’s emotional wellbeing and regulation is paramount in their learning. I am eager to be a part of a team in providing the highest quality early learning experiences for children. What do you love most about working at The WonderWorks? I am excited to be in a child centered environment, learning and exploring along with the children. Refreshing my own knowledge on Reggio Emilia and learning more about these established approaches. Providing support for families, the children and my team, while having the opportunities to take risks and explore our learning. I am honoured to be a part of such an amazing community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/304b0fa0-25eb-4123-b78f-ada5ac63e3e5/courtney+%28002%29.jpeg Our Team - Courtney Early Childhood Educator From being the eldest of six, having that natural maternal instinct and having worked in a nursery pre lockdown, I’ve picked up many different skills and learning approaches that different settings and people have. I feel this is the career path I’m meant to be in and am studying towards my level 3 qualification! I studied fine art at college, which is another passion but links into my love for messy play and the creativity and freedom children have to explore in their learning and who they want to be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/9e1812d0-028b-4250-b2b6-cc6b7ddd6c9c/Caitlin+2.jpeg Our Team - Caitlin Senior Early Childhood Educator I’ve worked in childcare for 8 years which began when I left school and completed an apprenticeship to gain my level 3 qualification. I have always been surrounded with nieces and nephews which ignited a passion to work in childcare, whether that be in a nursery setting or a nannying role, which I’ve been fortunate enough to experience. I’ve always had a passion for supporting children’s learning and development, providing them with a nurturing environment where they can explore, play and grow. What do you love most about working at The WonderWorks? Being at The Wonderworks, it feels like home, and is such a warm and positive environment. All the children have the freedom to explore and play with a range of resources and the approach is completed child centred and allows every child to be unique in their learning and development, which I love. Also being a part of such a positive and supportive team which makes me feel lucky to be apart of. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/e9b3fbb0-31f4-440c-80f3-792f82c600cc/AMY+G+Photo.jpg Our Team - Amy Senior Early Childhood Educator I hold a Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and have been working with children for over 5 years. My passion for childcare first started when I volunteered at my local nursery for work experience. I enjoy working in Early Years because it is lovely to see the children’s curiosity, creativity and development during a number of important stages of their lives. I like how everyday offers new opportunities to make a difference and contribute to the children’s growth. I love travelling to new countries and learning about different cultures, I also enjoy being outdoors in nature. What do you love most about working at The WonderWorks? I was drawn to the job at the Wonderworks because I liked the sound of their approach and values, with the main focus being child-led learning. It’s great how the children are taught lots of ways to express themselves and have a range of different resources to use and explore. It is a lovely environment where children feel safe, valued and excited to learn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/8c8b5826-61d5-4b56-9c68-f09a6bcb82a3/IMG-20250822-WA0010.jpg Our Team - Kamilla Early Childhood Educator I have a deep passion for working with children because I genuinely connect with them and enjoy fostering a fun, supportive environment where their natural curiosity can thrive. I started working with children as a nanny several years ago, and am very excited to be part of The WonderWorks team as a nursery teacher, developing my knowledge further and gaining more experience!I believe children are incredibly intelligent, each in their own unique way, seeing the world through a lens that’s so different from adults. I strive to create a bond by engaging their imagination, embracing their playfulness, and also understanding their behavior to ensure their needs are met. My favorite moments with children are when we engage in imaginative play, allowing them to take the lead and simply be themselves. This is why I was drawn to work at The WonderWorks as they lead with the same philosophy and approach. I am a trained actor with a passion for creativity and storytelling. I love anything to do with art and love to be outdoors! Anything from hiking to swimming and spending time with animals. I adore traveling, one of my favorite moments is being able to volunteer at a turtle sanctuary in Sri Lanka!I’ve also gained rewarding experience working as a children’s party entertainer, where I organized fun activities like dancing, crafts, and games! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/0422805d-bb7c-46b1-b41f-0c1a99b3d005/NAOMI+PHOTO.jpg Our Team - Naomi Early Childhood Educator Hello! My name is Naomi My experience working with children began with work experience at a nursery 17 years ago! Over the years I’ve been a Cheerleading and Dance coach as well as Drama teacher and more recently working as an assistant teacher in nurseries across London and Hertfordshire. I find working with children, especially in EYFS education very rewarding and grounding. It is an incredibly significant and influential time in a child's life, so being able to guide and support them through their journey is a privilege and something that I take great care, joy and pride in being able to do. Alongside working with children, I am a performer! Working across Theatre, TV, Commercial and Film My performing career has taken me around the world and I also studied at university before that My hobbies include Aerial Arts, Swimming and spending time in nature; going walking and camping My favourite thing about The WonderWorks is their strong connection to the Film & TV industry - not only a second home for me, but that the foundation and ethos of the company is to support and nurture families unique experiences, navigating working in film https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/6a236ffa-b34d-4061-b7d9-f5ae5819408f/REBECCA+PHOTO.jpg Our Team - Rebecca Senior Early Childhood Educator I’m a passionate educator with over seven years’ experience in child education, with a strong focus on the early years. My journey began in a support role with children with special educational needs (SEN), where I discovered how much I loved supporting young learners grow and thrive. This early experience sparked my interest in early years education and inspired me to progress into an unqualified teacher role in a SEN school while completing my Foundation Degree in Early Years Education. I have continued my studies and currently completing my BA (Hons) in Early Childhood, combining practical classroom experience with academic study. I love creating warm, inclusive, and engaging early learning environments where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to explore their world. Working at WonderWorks is incredibly rewarding because it brings together creativity, inclusivity, and a truly child-centred approach. Every day I see children’s individuality celebrated and their curiosity, imagination, and confidence encouraged. The nurturing environment helps children feel valued and inspired to explore, which is exactly the kind of ethos I believe makes early education so meaningful. The warmth of the team and the strong sense of community make WonderWorks a supportive and inspiring place for both children and staff. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/f4b9008d-606c-4a40-bc93-9241ad8ae6bd/IMG-20250917-WA0001.jpg Our Team - Sarah Senior Early Childhood Educator I have been working in nurseries for 11 years.

I have worked at all levels in professional kitchens and I am looking forward to bringing my healthy, fun food to the children and maybe the odd dish for the team. As the new kid on the block I have to say the children are adorable and I've already got a few helpers to push the trolly along! I was drawn to Wonderworks as their caring, artistic ethos. It made want to get involved with the nursery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/b13efa95-6b59-4985-afb1-159e897ac94b/IMG-20250922-WA0007.jpg Our Team - Hayley Under 3’s Co-Ordinator and 3rd In Charge I am level 3 qualified and have worked in childcare for the past 25 years with children aged 0-7 years old. In my previous jobs I worked my way to becoming a room leader working with under 3’s in private schools. When I had my daughter, I worked as a nanny looking after a 1 ½ year old before going back to working in a private school. I love messy play and seeing what creations the children come up with using their imagination to develop their skills. Helping children achieve new milestones is very rewarding. Seeing children’s faces when they master something that has been difficult is lovely to be a part of. I am a mum to my daughter who is 20 as well as having 2 Bengal cats Eden And Finn. I enjoy cooking and being creative, from colouring to DIY. What I love about Wonderworks is allowing the children to learn, explore and take risks, letting them make mistakes and learn from others in a safe environment. Everyone in very supportive and an amazing team. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/104e7e63-252a-4647-b3d7-a4891e5ecb7b/Megan.jpg Our Team - Megan Early Childhood Educator Coming from a big family, I have always enjoyed being around and caring for children. This is something I have found linked to much of my work since graduating university. I graduated with a BA (Hons) in Drama, which I have used to start my education career. I have worked as a Film and Drama teacher for 5 years, honing in on developing creative skills in children, and exploring their storytelling. During this time, I have also gained a Master’s in Film and Televsion, as I also have a love of the Film Industry. Some of my work experience has included time as a Production Assistant and a Supporting Artist. WonderWorks is a perfect place for me because of this, as I am able to combine my love of childcare, film, and storytelling all in one place. https://www.thewonderworks.co.uk/testimonials daily 0.75 2025-10-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/1612456825014-66WH3EJVEIO3WLM3A4KC/_MEF0386.jpg Testimonials https://www.thewonderworks.co.uk/media daily 0.75 2024-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/1615508393206-1G5TCORRHKEL5C8ZI6WI/unsplash-image-0bJ12uYo9bU.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/1619706197185-VPUB9LYWP1CTCHT5D6H7/Sky-News-logo.png Media - Charlotte Riley on her campaign to improve film sets for parents following launch of on-site studio nursery Watch the coverage here Read the full article here https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/1619707499144-JTEPFWVYG1Z718AHDAKT/aX6walJ.png Media - Missed our tv coverage? we’ve got you covered!

taken time to get to know them and their families, and who can meet their individual needs. Having a key person helps children build secure relationships within which they can thrive. We want children to feel safe and nurtured with strong attachments rooted in close, secure relationships. Parents should have confidence in their children's well-being and feel they have an active role to play within the setting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c23306ca5df00cd26c691/b7ddb036-0488-48ef-b21d-64e037c4c9b4/FAMLY+2.jpg Settling In Through our app - Famly, busy parents can log in and view their child’s daily activities, food and marvellous moments when it is most convenient for them.
