DAWN

Nursery Founder
Manager and Designated Safeguarding Lead

Working with children is much more than a job to me, it is a huge part of my life. I’ve always loved the sound of children’s laughter, and watching them play.

After the birth of my daughter, I left my city career behind me, and opened Mulberry Bush Childminding. These were some of the most precious and rewarding years of my life.

When my second Ofsted inspection came around I was awarded an Outstanding. The inspector encouraged me to take a route into teaching, and I went to work at my local primary school. As much as I enjoyed my time there, I missed Early Years so much, and so in 2014 I decided to take the next step and Mulberry Bush Pre-school was born. We then went on to open our first full Day Nursery in 2023 and have since been awarded an Outstanding Ofsted grade.

I really want to make a difference and am dedicated and passionate about providing the very highest standards for all our children. I am so very proud of how far Mulberry Bush has come since 2006, and am so lucky to have an amazing team of practitioners to support myself and our lovely children and families.
