Hello, I'm Claire and I am the room leader in the preschool room at Raymond Street. I became part of the Traquinas family 9 years ago when I started as a student and whilst furthering my education I watched it grow from a childminders setting into the two fabulous nurseries there are today. I am a qualified Early Years teacher and have always loved working with children, watching them blossom and helping them to succeed. I love that at Traquinas we can follow the children's interests and provide them with real, hands-on practical learning experiences. I love being out in nature taking in the fresh air so can often be found mountain biking, paddle boarding or walking my dog during my free time
