Meet Naomi
I have worked with children age 0-11 since I started training back in 2016, I did my childcare level 2 and 3 with Hen Felin training, worked in nurseries up until I started with Clwb Y Ddraig in June 2024. In my spare time I like going out and trying new restaurants, visiting family and friends. I have 3 children, I am very close to all my family and absolutely love doing things all together. Some of my favourite play memories are going down porthcawl every school holiday from a young age with my gran and grandfather as they owned a caravan down there. Play means a lot to me, I couldn’t imagine doing a different job now. It encourages my imagination as well as my creativity. I love my job because the children are so welcoming, the different activities we do on a weekly basis and all the staff I work along side.
Meet Sarah
Meet Emily
I have been working with Clwb Y Ddraig since June 2023. In my spare time I enjoy baking. My family life is chaotic being one of 7 siblings but a lot of fun. My favourite play memory is play fighting with my brother every chance we got. Play means engaging in something that is fun and enjoyable. I love that my job promotes play projects and that I get to have as much fun as the children when at work.
Meet Ellie
I have been working with Clwb Y Ddraig since July 2023, I also have experience with children with additional learning needs. In my spare time I love reading, going on walks and spending time with friends. My favourite play memory is going to the beach with my younger brother and sister and my family. Play is a huge part of a child's learning journey, covers all areas of development while being fun for the child. I love watching the children in my care grow, learn new things, reach different milestones it gives me a sense of achievement helping them and teaching them, seeing them happy, i enjoy watching them reach their potential and supporting them.
