Emma Tennant – Owner
Emma Tennant
My qualifications: BSc (Hons), RM, BSc (Hons), RGN, NVQ Level 3, Food Safety Level 2 , Child Protection Training Level 2, Fire Warden, First Aid at Work, Paediatric First Aid
I’m the joint owner of the nurseries with Rebecca, my sister. Alongside Rebecca I lead the overall direction of the nursery and go into the nurseries on a regular basis. I work out of an office in Wokingham with Rebecca, Christabelle and Amanda. I trained as a nurse at university and then went onto do my midwifery training. Before having Phoebe and Benedict, I also worked for Johnson & Johnson. Like Rebecca working for both the public sector and in business has given me a unique perspective of running a day nursery. I have a passion for health and safety (my husband is even a consultant!), so I oversee this side of things. I am also responsible for finance, premises, food and admin – i.e. all the back office kind of things. I have also been a governor at my children’s school and I also help to run Sunday school sessions at my church.

I’m the joint owner of the nurseries with Emma, my sister. Alongside Emma I lead the overall direction of the nursery and go into the nurseries on a regular basis. I work out of an office in Wokingham with Emma, Christabelle and Amanda. I left university and went to work in the Police, where amongst other departments I worked in the child protection unit and police training college. Before having Howard and Edie, who have also attended the nursery, I worked as a Management Trainer at Woolworths Head Office. I’ve now gained my Early Years Professional Status (Level 6) from Reading University, which is the equivalent of a teacher for nurseries and I work alongside the team to keep everyone up to date with this prestigious course. Because of my training and background, I oversee operations, practice, HR and team development. In my spare time I run, am a governor ay my children’s old school and run a cross country running club at my children’s current school.
