room manager
“Hello my name is Jen Reavey. I joined Lecropt Nursery in July 2017. I previously worked in another private nursery for 4 years working with 2-5 year olds. I gained my HNC in early learning and childcare in 2013 and then successfully gained my PDA level 8 in Childhood Studies in 2016. I look forward to knew challenges and developing my practice further from babies upwards. I currently live in Alloa with my partner since 2015. I have a baby girl called Ella."
Carlene mckenzie
early years practitioner
"My name is Carlene McKenzie and I have been working at Lecropt since 2012. I work Monday's and Tuesday's. I have an HNC qualification in childcare and education. I really enjoy my job in childcare and it's very rewarding to see the children making progress. I have a little boy called Reece who attended the nursery and is now in primary school and my youngest son Luke currently attends the nursery. I can see how nursery has helped both of my boys become confident, happy little boys. I am married to Grant and moved from Glasgow to Stirling after I met him. I enjoy the sense of community in Bridge of Allan and I feel that Lecropt Nursery plays a big part in the community.
I am term time only and work Wednesday's and Thursday's supporting all playrooms with paper work cover. I may cover at our sister nursery, Old Doune Road Nursery on occasions."
