Meet Our Team

Team Leader

Spoken Languages: English • Mandarin • Cantonese

Also known as Amy, I bring 14 years of experience in childcare and currently serve as the Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead, Deputy Health & Safety Lead, and Deputy SENCO. I am committed to ensuring a safe and inclusive environment for all children. My qualifications include a Level 3 in Pre-school Practice, Level 2 in Understanding Autism, and certifications in Level 2 Food Hygiene and Level 2 Safeguarding of Children.

As a mother of two university-aged children, I love cooking and baking with the children at the nursery. I admit I may spoil them a little with delicious treats and plenty of messy play activities, but it’s all part of the fun in creating a warm, engaging space for them to thrive.

Nursery Assistant

Creative • Calm • Patient

Hi, my name is Megan, and I’ve been working in childcare for over 5 years. I hold a Level 2 qualification in Childcare and Education, along with certifications in Food Safety, Health and Safety Awareness and Safeguarding of Children. My journey in early years education has been incredibly rewarding, and I feel grateful every day to be part of a child’s world—watching them grow, explore, and discover.

I’m especially passionate about helping children learn through creative play and art-based activities. I love setting up inviting spaces where little hands can explore painting, mark-making, and crafting—these are not only fun but also support fine motor skills, self-expression, and confidence. It’s wonderful to see children beam with pride over something they’ve made.

One of my strengths is staying calm and patient, even during the busiest moments of the day. I know how important it is to offer children a gentle, consistent presence, especially when they’re learning to regulate their emotions or navigate new challenges. I take pride in being someone they can rely on for comfort, encouragement, and support.

I believe that each child is unique and learns in their own way and at their own pace. My approach is always child-led, and I enjoy taking the time to really listen, observe, and follow their interests—whether that’s in messy play, creative expression or parties.

It’s a joy to be part of the Blossoming Minds Daycare team, and I’m committed to making sure your child feels safe, valued, and inspired every single day.

Nursery Practitioner

Spoken Languages: • English • Hindi 

My name is Chandu Priya Das Singarapu. I come from a strong South Indian background and bring with me a deep-rooted passion for early childhood education. With over four years of experience as an early childhood facilitator in India, I have had the joy of supporting children’s growth and learning during their most formative years.

Currently, I have a MA in Education, and now I am pursuing my Level 7 MA in Early Years Education in the UK, with a focus on understanding how children perceive and make sense of the world around them. I believe in nurturing each child's individuality and promoting a learning environment that is inclusive, expressive, and emotionally safe.

I am passionate about creative expression whether it’s through art, craft, or photography. I enjoy doing photoshoots of myself and engaging in various forms of art and craft, as they fuel my creativity and help me connect better with children through imaginative activities.

Working with young children fills me with happiness and purpose. Watching them grow, explore, and discover brings immense joy to my heart, and I am dedicated to fostering an environment where every child feels valued, loved, and empowered to thrive.

Nursery Practitioner

Hello, my name is Malika, and I’m proud to be part of the Blossoming Minds Daycare team as a dedicated and enthusiastic childcare professional. With nearly 10 years of experience in the childcare sector, I bring a wealth of knowledge, a calm presence, and a genuine passion for helping children grow, thrive, and feel confident in their learning journey.

I hold a Level 3 Award in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and am fully trained in Paediatric First Aid and Safeguarding. I am highly organised, proactive, and known for being both patient and caring—qualities I believe are key to inspiring children to feel safe, happy, and curious about the world around them.

One of the special skills I bring to the nursery is my ability to speak four languages: English, French, Spanish, and Arabic. I love using this in playful, everyday interactions to introduce children to new sounds and cultures—language truly opens doors and sparks imagination!

From preparing nutritious meals and leading engaging activities to supporting developmental milestones and managing the daily flow of nursery life, I approach each day with positivity and a nurturing heart. I look forward to meeting you and supporting your child on their beautiful early years journey.

Nursery Assistant

Spoken Languages: English • Spanish • Portuguese

Hello, my name is Ariana, and I’m so happy to be part of the team here at Blossoming Minds Daycare. I am bringing with me a strong passion for working with children and a unique background in Travel and Event Management, Commerce & Marketing, and Hairdressing Assistance. While my previous studies are not in early years education, they’ve equipped me with valuable transferable skills—like creativity, adaptability, and excellent communication—all of which help me build meaningful connections with the children in our care.

I speak Spanish and Portuguese, and I love sharing these languages with the children through songs, stories, and playful interactions. Language is such a powerful way to spark curiosity and confidence, and I believe it’s a beautiful gift to offer in a diverse nursery setting.

Though I’m new to professional childcare, I have completed training in Health and Safety, Food Safety, and Safeguarding Children, and I’m deeply committed to continuous learning in this field. Most importantly, I bring a loving, empathetic approach to every child—rooted in my own experience as a mother, which has taught me patience, care, and an understanding of early development.

Before joining childcare, I worked in hospitality, where I learned how to multitask and create warm, welcoming environments. I enjoy traveling, music, dance, nature, and photography, and I love using these interests to inspire creativity and joy in the nursery.

One of my favourite moments is when a child smiles at me or reaches out for a cuddle—it’s such a wonderful feeling of trust and connection. I aim to provide a calm, nurturing space where every child feels safe, heard, and valued.

A fun fact about me: I taught myself Portuguese through music! I look forward to being part of your child’s early years journey and helping make their days at Blossoming Minds full of warmth, fun, and discovery.

Nursery Assistant

Spoken Languages: Italian • English • Spanish 

Hello, my name is Francesca, and I’m proud to be part of the Blossoming Minds Daycare team. I bring with me over 4 years of experience as a Nursery Assistant, and I’m currently completing my Level 2 qualification in Childcare, with plans to continue my Level 3 studies further very soon.

I hold certificate in Paediatric First Aid, Level 2 Safeguarding, Child Protection, Food Safety and Hygiene, and I support SEN children. These areas are very close to my heart, and I am dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive, and stimulating environment where every child feels supported in their unique journey.

I originally come from Italy and speak Italian fluently, with intermediate English and basic Spanish. I love bringing my cultural background into the nursery through cooking class, storytelling, and engaging play—language and diversity help children see the world in a beautiful way.

Before fully stepping into childcare, I gained experience in catering and sales, and I also completed my A-level in Human Sciences. I’ve volunteered with the Italian Red Cross, where I learned more about first aid and humanitarian rights, and I completed several placements in nurseries and primary schools, which confirmed my passion for working with young children.

I am naturally sociable, adaptable, and positive, and I love using my creativity to organise fun, hands-on learning activities for the children. Outside of work, I enjoy landscape and portrait photography, which allows me to appreciate moments of beauty and capture joyful expressions—especially those of curious little explorers!

I am excited to continue growing in my role and to be a part of your child’s development here at Blossoming Minds Daycare.
