Meet our staff team who are at the heart of Rabbit Patch Day Nursery!
Alex is the owner of Rabbit Patch nursery and will be on site working with the rest of the team.
Alex has had lots of experience working in nurseries down in Brighton and Hove but the pull of the open spaces the country side were too much.
Alex has completed three official educational courses to gain her qualifications. Alex has also completed numerous training courses to keep herself up to date with the ever changing world of Early Years care and education.
Hi everyone!
I am Chevelle, I have 9 years nursery experience, starting as an apprentice and now managing Rabbit Patch. I love everything about the nursery and I am passionate about delivering the best possible childcare to all the children who enter our setting.
Hi Everyone,
My name is Ben, I am 30 years old. I have 13 years experience in nurseries working in England and Germany. I am fluent in both English and German and have a passion for making sure children have the best start to their educational life. My other passion is writing children's stories, with my first book being published late next year!
I am the room leader of the Under 2's room. I enjoy caring for the little ones, planning exciting and appealing activities for them to take part in. I also enjoy being part of watching and helping them grow into thier own characters. I love working in the Under 2's as it full of fun and everyday is different and is so rewarding.
I have been working in the pre-school environment for 12 years, 3 of these were voluntary which I fully enjoyed, learning about children's behaviour and needs. I feel pre-school is such a lovely age to build a firm and positive foundation for children where they can open thier minds to amazing things. I love being creative and following the children's plans and ideas.
Hi! Im Jess,
I am the Room Leader for the toddler room (Silver Birch). I hold a Level 3 in childcare and have worked within nurseries for 5+ years. I enjoy working in the toddler room and love having messy play out!
I have worked in healthcare for over 20 years. Last year I decided to change direction and work in childcare, something I have wanted to do for a while. In January I began my level 3 qualification. I work in the Silver Birch Room and love working with the 2-3 years old children.
I have worked with young children for more than 20 years; supporting and encoraging development through a wide range of activites. Thier enthusiasm and thirst for knowledge never ceases to amaze me!
I have a keen interest in art and craft and am always looking for ways to promote creatvity through all areas of learning. I also enjoy being outdoors, walking in the courtyside with local groups and view the Rabbit Patch garden and outside space a an important learning area, as well as a fun place to be. As we spend a lot of time out there and in all weathers, I always have wellies at the ready!

Foundation Degree - Early Years Care and Education.
Before I started at the nursery, I was a toy shop sales assistant for 4 years. I had decided that I would like a change in career and had been thinking about child care for a while. I thought I wouldnt be able to as I had no specific experiance or qualifications, until Rabbit Patch took me on as a level 2 apprentice.
I absolutely love all the children and helping their imagination run wild with games and role play.
My name is Sophie, I joined the Rabbit Patch team in March '20. I have worked in childcare for the past 7 years with a range of differnt ages, from 1 up to 7 years old. I am level 3 qualified. I love watching and helping children learn, grow and develop in to thier own individual characters.
Hi all, My name is Mandy, and I am the nursery Chef.
I have worked with the Reggio approach for 5 1/2 years. As well as cooking for your children I really love to get them involved in the food they eat and welcome them into the kitchen to help prep, make cakes or look at all the different food I have. As well as food my other passion is my dog Daisy who is a 18 month old Bichon Frisé who keeps me on my toes.
