Natalie
Hi, I’m Natalie, the Childcare and Business Manager at Little Oaks Day Nursery. I manage both our Wolverhampton and Penn setting.
My childcare journey started in 2000 when I did my NNEB qualification. Once qualified I joined a nursery as a Early Years Practitioner and started to work my way up the ladder and gained a promotion as a Deputy Manager. In 2005 I joined Wolverhampton City Council and worked there for nearly 10 years giving support and advice to childcare settings. During this time I had my three children and completed my BA Honours in Childhood and Youth Studies. Then in 2015 I started at Little Oaks Day Nursey before it opened and helped prepare the setting to open in September 2015. I have loved my journey so far and I am excited for what is to come next in my role. I love the home from home feel that we provide at Little Oaks Day Nursery and building lasting relationships with our children and their families. I have a passion to provide children with an environment that sparks their curiosity and helps them to build the skills they need for the future.

Hi, I’m Katie, the Provision Manager at Little Oaks Wolverhampton.
I started working in childcare in 2007 and moved to Little Oaks Day Nursery in March 2016. I started at Little Oaks as an Early Years Practitioner and I have worked my up leading all age groups within the nursery to finally becoming the Provision Manager. I love ensuring that our environments make children feel at home and ignite their curiosity to learn. My aim is to ensure that our staff strive to deliver outstanding childcare to ensure that every child has the very best start in life.
JOANNE
Hi, I‘m Joanne, the Provision Manager at Little Oaks in Penn.
My childcare journey stared over 20 years ago when I completed a BTEC Qualification in childcare. Once qualified I worked at a private day nursery. As time went by, I worked through the ladder to become a senior practitioner before relocating to Wolverhampton. I then joined a preschool setting for 7 years as a deputy manager. During this time, I had my child and completed a BA Honours in Early Childhood Studies. I then fostered for around two years. Realising that my true passion was in early years I joined another nursery as a senior lead before then starting at Little Oaks Day Nursery in 2018 as a senior member of the team. During my time at Little Oaks Day Nursery I progressed to be the Early Years Lead before moving on to be the Provision Manager at Penn. I love to watch our children grow and develop, use their imagination and curiosity, on their journey as part of the Little Oaks family.
