Growing up in London in a large family of 10 siblings, looking after young children came naturally to me. I took my passion for caring for young children and turned it into a career.
I am highly experienced early years professional with 16-year of experience, in both nurseries and as a private manny. With a passion for nurturing young minds and creating a positive learning environment, I strive to consistently demonstrate and provide exceptional care and learning opportunities for children of all ages.
Throughout my career, I have gained extensive knowledge in early childhood development, curriculum planning, and implementing age-appropriate activities.
I have held various leadership roles within early years nurseries, demonstrating my ability to effectively manage teams and create a positive work environment.
I have a genuine love for working with young children and a wealth of experience in the field.

I'm Leah, I grew up in Herne Bay only moving house for the first time when I moved into my own. I began my childcare career as soon as I left school in 2011, going to Canterbury college where I studied my Level 2 and Level 3 Childcare and Education (CACHE) diploma. I have worked in childcare since I left school, I started worked here at Dan Dans in January 2018 which I absolutely love.
I have 1 little girl of my own, as well as playing a big role in my partners little boy’s life since he was 3.
I absolutely love my job here at Dan Dans, seeing the children grow and helping and encouraging them to develop to their full potential as individuals. I hope for many more happy years working here.

Hello, my name is Johanna, but you can call me Jo.
I started my early years journey in 2004 with my level 2 qualification. I enjoyed the start of my early years journey so much I continued to expand my knowledge and completed my level 3.
I started working here at Dan Dan’s in January 2024, which I thoroughly enjoy and look forward to spending many more years here help and support the children to grow and develop.

Tallulah
Early Years Apprentice
I am originally from London where I knew from a young age I wanted to go into childcare. I am currently doing an apprenticeship at Dandans which I am really enjoying. I have recently finished sixth form where I studied drama and criminology which I loved. I have a younger brother where there is quite a big age gap therefore grew my passion for childcare more as I have been able to experience his first words, walks and watch him develop. I look forward to exploring my career here at Dandans and supporting the children and watching them grow.
