Management

---

Hello and welcome to Canal House day nursery! My name is Andrew and I am the nursery manager. With 19 years experience, I have come to appreciate and develop a passion for the importance of positive learning experiences for all children and how much children can gain from the outdoor natural surroundings. Throughout my career I have been trained in and developed a wide range of skills to promote an environment where children can thrive.  The variation of each day allows me to be in the very fortunate position of being thoroughly motivated by the enjoyment I have at work. I am a husband and a father of two amazing children who I love to spend time with. I also enjoy walking my dogs and playing competitive football. Hope to welcome you soon to the Canal House family.
