I have many years of experience managing early years settings, as well as being a qualified SENDco (special educational needs and disabilities coordinator). I joined rubadubs as the manager in 2021. |

Pre-school Teacher and Third in Charge - Claudia
My name is Claudia and I am originally from Romania. I completed a degree in History and English language and literature in 2008 and after finishing my studies, I had the opportunity to teach History and English in Romania for three years. I loved being able to enrich children’s lives, not just through teaching them educational skills but also by helping them to build self-confidence and responsibility. In 2017 I obtained my QTS (qualified teacher status) in the UK and began working at rubadubs. I am a creative and energetic teacher and I believe that the love and passion I have for working with young children keeps me striving to improve my skills and achieve more. My aim is to provide a safe, caring and fun environment in which children can thrive and where their contributions are valued. |

Young pre-schoolers group leader - Susana My name is Susana and I am from Spain. I am a qualified teacher and since gaining QTS in the UK in 2009 I have had experience in working with children in early years, primary and secondary school. Once I became a mother myself, I fully understood the importance of those first few years of development and that is when I realised that I wanted to work in early years. I have worked at Rubadubs for five years now and have recently been promoted to room leader. I love working with the whole family and seeing how working in partnership with parents helps children to flourish. My hobbies include travelling to Spain to visit my family (when I can), playing piano, reading historical novels and enjoying coffee with friends! |
