UNDER 3's PROVISION LEADER / ROOM LEADER IN THE BURROW

Hi I’m Soraya,

In my previous life I was a primary school teacher, working with children aged 3 to 7, which I enjoyed very much.

I joined Free Rangers in 2015 to take up the challenge of working with children under 3.

I was the Room Leader for the Burrow (2yr olds) and the Under 3s Leader incorporating the Hive (babies) and the Burrow.

In November 2019 I reached a significant birthday milestone and decided to make some changes to my work/ life balance.

I now work every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 8am-6pm. I am based in the Burrow working with Ez (Room Leader) and her team.

I really enjoy my time with the children watching them grow and develop in our exciting environment.

Another role involves me spending some time monitoring our record keeping across the nursery which keeps me in touch with everyone at Free Rangers.

I spend the latter part of the week catching up with my family and friends whilst exploring new interests and hobbies.

Favourite Tree: Holly – Always reminds me of Christmas

Favourite Forest Animal: Bank Vole – It has such a pretty face

Favourite Season: Autumn – So many beautiful colours
