My journey in early years started around 23 years ago, I always wanted to provide nurture, fun and a safe environment in which children could thrive. I started as an apprentice, then worked my way up through various roles including nurseries, schools, and family support. My focus has and will always be to provide an outstanding environment for children to thrive, feel valued and safe in.

Hi, I’m Olivia,

I’ve worked in early years since 2019 and joined Little Adventures in July 2024. Previously a room leader for 2-4-year-olds, I’m now thrilled to manage a 0-2 year room, a long-time dream! I’m passionate about nurturing children’s curiosity, creating engaging learning experiences, and building strong relationships with families. I aim to provide a home away from home for your little ones as they start their learning journey. Outside of work, I adore cosy nights in with fairy lights, snacks, and Disney movies, alongside my cheeky sausage dog, Bruce! I can’t wait to meet you and watch your little ones grow.

Hi I’m Sophie Vincent. I am level 2 qualified in childcare and am currently doing my level 3! I used to do majorettes which was a huge part of my teenage life growing up, competing in carnivals and competitions all over Devon and Somerset! I love going to different beaches and family walks with my 2 daughters and taking them out to different places like Aquariums and to explore nature and just to have lots of fun! I am super excited to be working at Little Adventures Nursery!

Hi I’m Anita, I joined the nursery when it first opened and have loved watching it grow. Though this is my first nursery role, I bring over 16 years of experience volunteering with children, where I enjoyed arts and crafts, games, and supporting their development. I’m excited to get to know all the families at Little Adventures. In my spare time, I enjoy cycling with my husband or friends, especially when we find a coffee shop along the way!

Hi I’m Evi.

I have always had a keen interest in working with children but never had the confidence to apply. After 3 years in dementia care I decided it was time to take the plunge into Childcare and I am loving every minute. I am a keen reader and craft person and hope to use my skills and interest to inspire the children!

I can’t wait to learn new things and expand my knowledge throughout my childcare career.

Hi I’m Mikayla.

I started in August 2024 and chose to start my journey in childcare at Little Adventures, because I have always wanted to work with children. I felt really welcome here and it felt like such a nice environment to work in. I have experience in childcare as I have previously volunteered at a nursery, a youth club and also did work experience at another nursery. In my spare time, I enjoy arts such as drawing, painting and sculpting and I look forward to sharing this with the children going forward within my career here.

Hi, I’m Kenya.

I have a big passion for cooking nutritious, homely meals and have previously worked in the kitchen of a well-known local restaurant, which I’m sure many of you would’ve visited. I have many years’ experience cooking and am looking forward to sharing my culinary skills with all of your wonderful children to provide them with cooking experiences and delicious meals at nursery.

Hi I’m Shel, My journey in early years education began at 15 with school work experience. I officially started my childcare career in 2010 as a young apprentice, progressing to roles as room manager, deputy manager, and eventually manager. I am proud to have been part of teams achieving three outstanding Ofsted inspections. I’m passionate about supporting my team in creating engaging learning experiences while ensuring high-quality care. As a parent, I connect with families on a personal level, and as a qualified Designated Safeguarding Lead, I prioritise children’s safety. In my spare time, I enjoy crafting messy play activities and exploring the outdoors with my daughter.

I feel extremely fortunate to have been working in a profession that I love for the last 7 years. I currently hold a level 5 Foundation Degree in Early Years and love to learn new things. I have progressed through the ranks, starting my career as a nursery practitioner and now more recently being part of management. I bring an innate passion to provide a nurturing environment to support the achievement of positive outcomes for children through play.

In my spare time, I love exploring both cities and the countryside in the hopes of finding new places to enjoy with family and friends. There’s nothing better than sitting in a quite, little cafe, tucked away somewhere with great food and company!
