NICOLA GASS
EARLY YEARS PRACTITIONER IN THE BURROW / APPRENTICE MENTOR
Hello,
My name is Nic and I am based in the Burrow room, which is the 2-3 year olds. I am also now an Apprentice Mentor and will be working closely with Gemma, one of our managers, to help and support our apprentices and students. I’ve been working at Free Rangers for just over 5 years now. I joined Free Rangers back in August 2013 and ever since then I’ve been able to watch Free Rangers change everyday and develop into the amazing and thriving place it is today with a big bunch of happy (and muddy!) children – oh and staff!
Here’s a little bit about me:
I lived in Portugal for a couple of years when I was a little girl.
I have my own tree!! It’s an oak tree and I planted it in East Harptree and it’s just celebrated its 18th birthday!
I LOVE CREATIVE PLAY – so yes you’ll most probably find me in the downstairs Burrow – covered in glitter – or paint or shaving foam!!
I LOVE Halloween and Christmas! (it means more excuse for glitter!!!)
Favourite tree: Red Maple Tree
Favourite animal: Robin
Favourite season: Autumn/Winter
