Manager
Rachel
Hi I'm Rachel, I am the nursery manager. I live in Duns with my 16 year old son and border terrier dog, Missy. I am currently studying to complete my level 4 in early years before moving on to gain my degree in childhood practices. In my spare time I enjoy socialising with friends and family.

Zoe
Hi I'm Zoe, I work in the Beehive room (2-5 year olds). I've worked in childcare for just over 6 years, gaining my level 2 & 3 in social services (children and young people). I am hoping to achieve my level 4 in the future.
​
I live outside of Duns and enjoy spending time with family, friends and my dog Nell - as well as going on adventures!
​
My favourite part of the job is watching the child grow and develop throughout their early years.

Hi I'm Emma and I live in Berwick with my 2 boys, husband and a crazy frenchie called Duke. I have worked in childcare for the last 11 years and hold a level 3 qualification. I have always had a passion for working with children and love to see how much the children progress through the years. I'm based in the Treehouse 0-2 room. In my spare time I love to spend time with my family. I'm both a football and rugby mum where I'm very much their biggest fan (much to their embarrassment).
