Our lead team

Debbie Davies

Leader/Senco

Since choosing childcare as my career I worked in settings in Manchester and Scotland then as a Childminder in Nailsea. My 2 children came to Greenslade where I was elected to be Chairperson of the Committee before accepting the role of Leader in 1977. I am proud to lead such a dedicated team who work hard to create a happy learning environment and support our children and their families, some of whom return with children of their own!

Deborah Williams

Leader/Safeguarding officer

I always worked in childcare after leaving school and after a short period in retail after having my children I returned to my first love when I joined the team at Greenslade. I started as a Committee member and saw for myself what an amazing place the preschool was and knew I wanted to return to childcare and work at Greenslade. I have never looked back and find being Leader so rewarding and fulfilling.

Lisa Paul

Deputy/Admissions

My association with Greenslade began when I started here as a 3 year old! My own children also came to Greenslade and during this time I had the opportunity to help as a parent helper which I really enjoyed. This led me to go to college to study in Early Years and after qualifying in 2002 I started working here. I feel very fortunate to be able to work in such a lovely environment with a dedicated team of staff.

Jeanette Cook

Keyworker

3 of my 4 children came to Greenslade and I felt so passionately about the preschool I was Chair of the Committee for 8 years. I qualified in Early Years and have worked here since 2013. I really enjoy working in the preschool team and love the fact we have our own dedicated building and fantastic outside space for the children to enjoy.

I re-trained in childcare after 10 years of running my own business , during this time I volunteered at a preschool and after qualifying I worked at a local nursery. In 2015 I was very lucky to be offered the job at Greenslade and I have never regretted my decision. Its a great team to work in and we have lots of great resources.

Sarah Pinnell

Keyworker

While my daughter was at Greenslade I realised what a lovely environment it was and how much I would like to work here and support the children in their development, as I had seen staff do for my own child. I decided to re-train in Early Years and volunteered at Greenslade while qualifying. I have worked at different Childrens Centres around North Somerset and have worked at Greenslade since 2016. I love working at Greenslade and feel extremely lucky to have such a fulfilling role.

Keyworker

I worked in childcare since leaving school and gaining my qualifications. As my children got older I worked at Bristol Airport for a number of years but I am now very excited to return to the world of childcare at Greenslade. I have worked with children of various ages but pre-schoolers are definitely my favourite!

Both my children attended Greenslade and I always loved the Pre-School and how well my children were cared for and how much they developed. I have been lucky enough to have worked here since 2015 and I enjoy every minute - being part of the staff team and being around the children and seeing them learn and grow.
