EMMA DAKIN
APPRENTICE EARLY YEARS PRACTITIONER IN THE BURROW
I have been working at Free Rangers for over a year now and am currently studying a level 3 course for children’s play and development at Bath college.
I have always loved children and wanted to work with them so was very excited when I got a job at Free Rangers. My family is very big so I have been around children a lot, therefore I knew that this is something I wanted to do. I have always loved the outdoors and enjoyed camping when I was little which is why Free Rangers is the best place to work for me. I love seeing children learn and grow, so the job is very rewarding and something I hope to do for a very long time.
