My name is Sam and I am the manager of Olive Hill Acorns After School Club. I have worked with children for over 20 years, working in different settings such as private day nurseries, breakfast & after school clubs and also as a lunchtime assistant at a primary school, with children aged 6 weeks to 11 years. I love working with children, being creative and providing fun ways for children to be happy and enjoy themselves whilst learning through play. I am a Mum of 2 so in my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, going on day trips and reading.
