My name is Liz and I am the Early Years Manager for Kids Club Teddington. I have worked at Building Blocks since November 2007. During this time, I have gained a vast experience with a range of different ages, developing a wider knowledge and understanding of all age groups from babies up to 11 year olds. During my time at Building Blocks I have been given the opportunity to develop as a professional gaining a Level 5 in Leadership & Management. I have been one of the managers in Teddington since September 2014. I have managed both the Main Building and Kids Club during this time. Within my role I thoroughly enjoy developing the staff team, the children within the setting and the environment to ensure we provide a stimulating, safe and engaging setting where all children can thrive. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my two children and husband.

My name is Gayle. I have been working within childcare for over 20 years now with children aged 3 months – 11 years old. I have achieved both my NVQ level 2 and 3 in childcare and have been working at Building Blocks since December 2010. I am known for my energetic and bubbly personality (lots of laughter takes place in my room!). I love to support and provide activities to bring on children’s confidence and language abilities. I come from a large family, I have 4 brothers and 2 sisters (I am the oldest) I live with my partner on the River Thames and together we have our little dog Poppy.

My name is Ben. I started originally as bank staff for Building Blocks in 2020, and covered half terms and breaks. After finishing my A levels in History, IT and English Literature I have joined Kids Club team as a permanent member. In my free time, I like to go to different concerts, play strategy games and spend time with my friends. I have just begun my Level 2 in Childcare and I’m looking forward to gaining more knowledge.

My name is Baylee, I joined Building Blocks in March 2023. I have recently completed a Health and Social Care level 1 qualification in March 2023 . My previous experience was working in a nursery setting with children aged 6 months old to 5 years old. I have also cared for children as a baby sitter for a variety of families, ages ranging from 1 years old to 10 years old. Looking after my younger sister for the past several years, has supported my decision to pursue a career in childcare.

I wish to continue to develop further in childcare, through further training and gaining my Cache level 2 in childcare. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my friends, listening to music, playing games and hanging out with my younger sister.
