Mrs Shoker – Nursery Owner & Manager

Aman Staff“After the birth of my second child in 2006, i realised the lack of high quality childcare, so I took the decision to open my own nursery. My ethos has always been to given the children who attend the nursery the same quality care and experience as I would want for my own children. I am a highly driven individual always striving for quality and high standards, and together with my management team I am proud that we continually attain my expectations of a good nursery.”
