  Simon

  I am a local businessman with a background in the Telecoms and Technology market, where I have served for the last 20 years. I am also the owner of 42 The Calls Hotel in Leeds, along with being the CEO for COVVI, a bionic hand. As a father of three young children - Poppy, Louie and Charlie - each day inspires me to give them the very best in life.

  22 Street Lane Nursery reflects the vision we share of the facilities we would have liked our own children to enjoy. We worked incredibly hard on every little detail with architects, planners, designers and educational experts to make our vision become a reality.

  Wanting nothing short of the best, we have totally rejuvenated the site, with a major investment in the renovation of the building as well as the creation of a large magical garden for children to play, discover, learn and thrive in.

  As Managing Director of 22 Street Lane, I am delighted to be in a position to continue the vision that Simon and Caroline have worked so passionately to achieve. I have been involved in the day-to-day finances of 22 Street Lane since November 2016 which has given me much insight into the operations of the nursery and I have enjoyed seeing it flourish into an Outstanding childcare setting. I am looking forward to working alongside Alex and the management team to ensure that the nursery continues to maintain the high standards achieved to date.

  I am a mum of 3 children so I’m kept pretty busy out of work but in my spare time I love to travel, eat out and spend quality time with my family and friends.

  I have been working with children for over 5 years in a range of settings with children of different age groups and with a number of additional needs. My recent post has been as a fully qualified teacher in a school Nursery, where I have worked since leaving university, and therefore I hold a BA (Hons) in ‘Primary Education - Early Years’.

  I believe in ensuring that every child’s needs are met, and that learning is always inspired by children’s interests; full of excitement and new opportunities. This is crucial to ensure that every child grows to their full potential and is school ready.

  I am a passionate and motivated individual and I love what I do.

  I previously studied Media at university, but in my final year deciding to work with children was what I truly wanted to do. I started my childcare journey working for a small nursery in Ascot where I was a trainee, and a year later I qualified, progressing to becoming the Room Leader of the Pre-School.

  I relocated to Leeds to be closer to my family and friends. I love building relationships with all of the children and watching them learn and grow.
