    Ashlee Peacock

    Manager

    I have over 15 years of experience working with children and young people, along with a genuine passion for early years education and the lasting impact it has on a child’s future.

    I hold a Level 3 NVQ in Early Years, a Level 5 NVQ in Management, and have experience in therapeutic working, as well as being a qualified SENDCO. I am passionate about understanding each child as an individual, recognising their unique personality, interests and needs, and supporting them to develop confidence, independence and a strong sense of self.

    I believe secure attachments and trusting relationships are at the heart of children’s early development. Every child deserves to feel safe, valued, loved and understood, with the confidence and freedom to explore, express themselves and thrive within a warm and nurturing environment.

    I am a strong advocate for play, creativity and exploration as essential parts of learning. Through arts, music, nature-based experiences and opportunities for open-ended play, children can discover their interests, celebrate their individuality and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them.

    I take great pride in supporting and inspiring my team and working closely with families and professionals to ensure every child receives the care, encouragement and opportunities they need to reach their full potential.
