Naomi Jarram
Our Staff
I hold a Level 3 NVQ in Childcare and Education and a Level 4 Diploma is Business Administration. I have at least 18 years experience of working with children from babies to 11 years old. I joined Radmoor Childcare in 2010 working within the children’s rooms and managing Camp Energy out of school club. I helped within the nursery office supporting the management of the childcare provisions. In November 2018, I was appointed as Radmoor Childcare manager.
I love working at Radmoor Childcare, watching the children grow and develop and supporting partnerships with parents/carers. I have two children of my own who attend our Holiday Club during their school holidays.
Danielle Shipley
Radmoor Childcare Manager

I have worked at Radmoor Childcare since 2011. I started working as a support worker before gaining a full time role as a Nursery Practitioner. In 2019 I was successfully appointed the role of Nursery Administrator and then in 2021 I was appointed the role of Nursery Deputy as well. I have worked very closely with the Holiday Club and I was the Holiday Club leader for many years.
I hold a CACHE Level 3 Diploma in childcare and education and I am currently studying for my Level 3 Business Admin Qualification.
Alongside working full time and studying, I am also a full time Mum to my Son. I really enjoy working at Radmoor Childcare and believe I have found a good work/home life balance.
Zoe Hill
Nursery Administrator / Deputy

I have worked at Radmoor Nursery since 2002. I hold a Level 3 in Childcare and Education (CACHE Diploma) and I hold a Level 2 qualification in Play work.
I have always been very passionate about working with children since I was young, before joining Radmoor Nursery I worked as a babysitter and had experience working in different settings whilst at college. I love seeing the children grow and develop. It is a very rewarding job and fills me with pride and happiness working with such a wonderful generation.
In 2018 I stepped in my new role as Assistant Manager after working very closely with the Nursery Manager. Although I now work in the Nursery office, I still very much like to have a good relationship with the children and parents.
Clare Hussain
Radmoor Childcare Assistant Manager

I have worked at Radmoor Childcare since 2010. I am the nursery deputy and within my role I am office based and work in all of the groups when support is needed. I have previously been a key worker in the nursery and was the leader of Camp Energy Out of School Club. I thoroughly enjoyed both of these responsibilities. I currently hold a Level 4 in Early Childcare and I am working towards my Level 5.

I have worked in schools as a teaching assistant with children of various ages and in other nurseries with children aged from birth to 5 years.

It is lovely to be able to see the babies reach their development milestones such as sitting up, crawling, walking and babbling.

I now work in the Baby Room and since joining the Radmoor Team I have gained my Level 2 Childcare qualification and I am now working towards my Level 3. I have three children of my own. Being a Mum is useful if parents need advice about childcare as I can make use of my own experiences. I enjoy introducing and settling the babies into the nursery and helping the parents to feel relaxed about leaving their child in my care. I also enjoy seeing how the babies develop during their time in the Baby Room knowing that I am contributing to their early years development.
