Naomi Davie BA
Deputy Manager
Currently working towards her BA Degree in Childcare.
I have a real interest in Brain development and the vital role that Early Years play in developing and shaping a child’s brain before they are 5 years old which becomes their foundation of learning
and behaviour for the rest of their life.
I would like to do further study along this field of science to better understand how I can help children reach their full potential.
Adele Richardson SVQ4
Supervisor - Key Worker for 2 Year Olds
I have worked in Highway Day Nursery since 2005 and studied many interesting expressions of Early Learning & childcare my special passion now is for the Health and Wellbeing of the children and staff, especially after the stressful years of living through Covid. I have devoted the past year to look into the Danish philosophy of Hygge- where they believe healing, health and happiness can be experienced by creating a warm relaxed atmosphere and a right state of mind enjoying the good things of life.
Adele Rutherford SVQ3
Senior Early Years Teacher - Key Worker with 4 Year Olds
Started at Highway in 2006 and have been learning every day. I love to put out challenging, fun, exciting activities to entice the children to play, then think and learn whilst having fun using their imagination and ideas. To help me do more of this I am taking a Wunderled certification course with the Fairy Dust Team. I Wonder how that will work out!
