Meet Angela Stirzaker, the manager at Windmill Day Nursery

I started my career at Windmill Day Nursery in 2001 when the nursery very first opened its doors. I started as a level 3 qualified nursery nurse and after a short break from the nursery where I lived in Oxfordshire, I came back to Windmill in 2003. Over the last 23 years I continued my professional development with the nursery and went on to do an advanced apprenticeship in management which then led on to me doing my Early Childhood Studies Degree and I am one of the Lancashire Language leads. Whilst working at the nursery I have worked in many roles from nursery practitioner to pre-school team leader and then on to deputy manager and now manager. The knowledge and experience I have gained over the years has been thoroughly rewarding and I look forward to continuing my dedication and passion to the children and staff team at Windmill Day Nursery.
