Clarie Gibson - Nursery Practitioner Level 3
Hello! I'm Claire and I gained my NNYB national diploma Level 3 way back in 1994! Since then, I have worked in a variety of childcare settings, mainly primary schools, working with children in the EYFS through two years 6. I lived in Fuerteventura Canary Islands for two years where I worked in a Spanish day nursery in the sun!
I have three children of my own 27, 24 and 17 and three grandchildren 6, 3 and 7 months. My older girls now live with their partners, but my son still lives at home with myself and our dog called Daisy. We love to visit Cannock Chase and Hednesford hills full long walks and to let the grandchildren let of some steam.
