Introducing Our Nursery Team
Miss Thompson - EYFS Leader
Hello, I have been working at Broadgate Primary school for many years both in the Nursery and Reception classes. I wouldn’t want to work anywhere else! We are a great team not just within Reception, but across the Early Years and the school as a whole.
Outside of school I love to spend time with my family especially going on holidays and days out. Recently I have enjoyed going for long walks and spending time in my garden.
The best thing about working in Early Years is that no two days are ever the same. It is great to be able to give the children the opportunities both indoors and out to develop their own interests and personalities.
I’m looking forward to meeting you all in September.
Mrs Freeman - Nursery Teacher
Hello, I am Mrs Freeman and I have worked at Broadgate since 2015. I have spent most of my years here in the EYFS team and thoroughly enjoy being part of such a wonderful school.
When I am not at school, I spend time with my family - my husband, my two son's and our dog! Our favourite thing to do is visit the seaside and go on adventures on the beach!
The best thing about working in Early Years is seeing the children learn something new every day, no matter how big or small. I really enjoy spending the day singing, sharing stories and exploring the outdoors!
It is very special knowing that you are part of the very beginning of a child's school journey and witnessing the huge progress they have made across the year, as a person and academically too. It's truly is magical.
Mrs Clay - Nursery Teacher
Hello! My journey at Broadgate Primary began as a trainee teacher, when I completed my teacher training in our Foundation Stage. I was then offered the chance to stay at the school as a teacher and I have stayed in EYFS ever since. I feel incredibly lucky to work within a fantastic team and at such a lovely school! I love being part of our wonderful Nursery team with Mrs O’Hara, Mrs Blanthorn, Mrs Bullough and Mrs Foster-Conlon. I really enjoy getting to know all of our Foundation Stage children each year!
When I am not at school, I am kept very busy by my two boys! We enjoy playing together in the garden or going for a walk in the park. My favourite place in the world is Filey – I love to walk along the sands with an ice-cream! Recently, I have been enjoying doing some baking. My favourite thing to bake is a lemon drizzle cake!
The best thing about working in Early Years is that each day is filled with creativity, imagination and excitement – you never know what will happen! I love to watch our children beam with pride at their own achievements. It is even better sharing this joy with the other teachers and children, and then with their families at home time – these moments are always the highlights of the day!
Mrs O'Hara - Nursery Officer
Hi, I am Mrs O'Hara and I have been part of the Nursery team at Broadgate since 2008.
Throughout my time in the Nursery I have always worked within a great team, where together we create a warm and welcoming atmosphere to both children and their parents and carers.
I qualified in June 2007 in Early Years after working many years in office work.
I have three children, a cat called Coco and a dog called Ernie. Outside of school, I enjoy pilates and I love to go on holidays in the sunshine. My favourite colour is pink and my favourite animal is a giraffe!
I really enjoy my time in the Nursery, helping the children to learn through their play, see them grow in confidence and become part of a team with their friends.
