Having spent over 20 years in Operations and Project Management I have worked long hours away from my family and it has taught me how important a quality childcare facility is.

Joining Camelot in 2015 was an easy choice for me as my son had spent the previous 3 years here and had gone from strength to strength in that time.  It is so wonderful to see the work we are doing having a real impact on the lives of the local children and their families, and I couldn’t wish for a more dedicated and passionate team to work with.
