Meet The Team
We’re a bunch of well-rounded people from diverse backgrounds. We’re committed to levelling up our staff with professional qualifications like Health & Safety training, Immediate First Aid Response, and Childcare NVQ & Young People’s workforce diplomas.
This helps us ensure that we have the breadth within the team to look after children round the clock, no matter the situation.
Leadership Team
Sharon Read

She first opened Magical Moments Preschool 11 years ago with her Co-Owner Liz, prior to which she worked for another nursery for several years. She also has a level 3 NVQ qualification in childcare and is a mother to 3 of her own children.
Since opening Magical Moments, Sharon has had one mission: To ensure that every child's first experience outside of their comfort zone is a positive, fun and engaging experience in order for them to gain the skills required to progress as they grow.
Sharon consistently ensures that the nursery team is involved, engaged and pro-active in ensuring this is fulfilled as well as supporting her team and parents alike.
