Our team

I’m excited to work as an early years practitioner because helping children grow and learn is something I’m really passionate about, seeing them learn a new skill feels very rewarding and I think every child deserves the chance to a good start into their education life and I think Ark Start is doing that amazingly. They really want every child to have the same opportunities despite their background so I’m very proud to be a part of the team.

I have hands on experience with my own daughter, so I really feel confident in childcare and it’s something that feels very natural to me. In my free time I like to read books and go paddle boarding.

Molly is Director of Early Years at Ark and runs Ark Start nurseries. She is passionate about providing quality education for young children and has worked in the early years for over 12 years – as a nursery headteacher, nursery manager, reception teacher, and as a primary school senior leader responsible for safeguarding, SEN, Early Years and early reading, including synthetic phonics to name a few.

She loves singing and storytelling and knows how fun and motivating it is for young children to learn more about the world through stories, songs and experiences. Originally from New Zealand, Molly enjoys spending as much time outdoors as possible and, in her spare time, she loves cuddling her cats.
