I started working at Building Blocks when we first opened in 2001, I originally joined as a kitchen assistant, supporting the chef in the kitchen before moving into the classroom to give one to one support to children with Special Educational needs. I then worked within the Kids’ Club/After School and Holiday Club based at Dundonald Congregational Church for 9 years. In January 2020 I moved to become the Deputy Early Years Manager at Nursery School. I am very proud to say I have developed my professional role and have achieved a NVQ Level 2 in Childcare Cache Level 3 Diploma in Play work and a Level 3 in Management, Level 1 Makaton. I am also trained as a paediatric first aider and Adult first aider. My Hobbies include reading, writing stories and watching films. I love my family and have a daughter and grandson whom I love very much. 

My name is Marley, and I joined Building Blocks in October 2024. I have experience working in multiple SEN schools, supporting children aged 5 years old to 18 years old and also coaching children and young adults in sports. My well-being and values are important to me, as well as caring for others and anyone in and around me regularly. I played semi-professional basketball, and enjoy going to the Gym, acquiring new knowledge and listening to Music.

My name is Adam, and I joined Building Blocks in October 2024. I studied at The Brit School and graduated in 2023 with a UAL level 3 Extended Diploma in the Performing Arts with Distinction. I attended the Bridge Theatre course where I got a UAL Level 4 Diploma in Performance with Distinction. I work at Laine Theatre Arts as an Assistant Drama Teacher. I'm an avid lover of the performing and creative arts and try to incorporate it into my work wherever I can. I also care a lot about making sure my work is inclusive and uplifting for children and staff. I especially enjoy creating plays, songs and stories with others. In my spare time I like to play Dungeons and Dragons, listen to music and draw.

I have worked for Building Blocks as a Driver since 2008 and hold a degree in Design and Technology. I enjoy my role with Building Blocks as everyday with the children is a different day. I do the Nursery School morning and evening shuttle runs and assist with the Kids Club school runs. I enjoy taking the children swimming and to Forest School and supporting on Holiday Club trips. I am a family man and enjoy spending time with my Grandchildren outside of work.
