Pam

Manager and SENCO

Hello my name is Pam Smith. I am married and we have four children.  Two girls and two boys. My eldest is 16 years old and my youngest is 8 years old. Each one of them is unique and beautiful. I have worked with children since leaving school and love being around young children. I enjoy interacting and learning new things with and from them.
I studied for my NVQ3 in childcare and family support and have carried on studying various courses in child development since.
I started and ran a successful Ofsted Registered Childminding business for 20 years from my home, looking after up to 12 children at a time. I also spent some time in two different preschools, one as a Deputy Manager and the other as a Manager. This gave me a good understanding of how preschools are run by the staff and enjoyed by the children.  I bring my experience and knowledge to Longworth and to have have fun along the way with your children and get to know and help them enjoy their play-learning experience at Longworth Preschool.
