Nursery Manager
My name is Jing Li, but everyone calls me LJ. With nearly 10 years of experience in nursery management, I specialize in bilingual learning, EYFS curriculum development, staff training, and creating enriching early years environments. I hold a PGCE in Early Years from UCL, an MA in Community Music, and I serve as the Designated Safeguarding Lead (Level 3), Health & Safety Lead, SENCO, and a qualified Level 3 Assessor at Blossoming Minds Daycare.
As a mother of two young children, I understand the joys and challenges of early childhood. My passion for flowers, gardening, and music adds a creative touch to the nursery. As a professional opera singer and piano player, I often share music with the children, creating a joyful and engaging atmosphere.
I am dedicated to fostering a vibrant, inclusive, and nurturing space where every child and staff member can thrive.

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 Practitioner
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 am pursuing my Level 7 qualification 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.
