Welcome to Top Toddlers
Below please find an overview of the team that will be caring for and developing your child.

Priscilla Bosah
Early Years Educator/Primary Key Carer
Paediatric First Aid trained
My name is Priscilla, also known as CeCe. I am a qualified Level 3 Early Years Educator and have been working at Building Blocks since October 2018. I have worked across every age group from our Beautiful Babies through to our Nursery School to which I am particularly fond of. I am currently training for my Level 5 Childcare and Leadership, which I believe will support my current role and future goals in my career. I enjoy imaginative play, dancing and singing, which I am grateful to also have as an outlet away from the setting. I get to travel the world and inspire and comfort others with music, which I have been doing professionally for the last 24 years. I bring my bubbly personality to my play and love to engage children in lots of wonderful activities.

Lucy Penney

Hello, my name is Lucy. I have been at
Building
Blocks since 2010. I hold a Level 3 in Childcare and an Honours Degree in Sociology. I have experience working with all age groups and particularly enjoy working with the Babies and Toddlers. It gives me great pleasure teaching children the foundation of life, nurturing and supporting children as they grow into confident explorers and aiding them to create special bonds. I have a lovely son called Will, who is football mad, together we love being outdoors supporting our teams.

My name is Shannon, and I have been at Building Blocks since May 2015, and I work three days a week. I love spending time with the children and have worked with our Babies, Toddlers and preschoolers during my time here. I have recently completed my Level 3 in childcare, and I am currently training towards my Level 5 in Childcare and Leadership! I enjoy putting all I have learnt into providing exciting and developmental activities for the children. When not at work, I love spending time with my 4 children.

I have previously worked in nurseries as a nursery assistant with an agency for the past 6 months, working with children aged 3 months to 5 years old. What is important to me is working in a friendly environment, where the team supports the development of the children to their fullest potential. In my spare time, I enjoy quality time with friends and family.

My personality is bright, bubbly, and I am very family-oriented; they are the most important people to me! In my spare time, I enjoy listening to music and podcasts, spending quality time with those I love and always out there looking for a laugh 😊

Jessica Figueiredo Da Costa E Silva
Early Years Educator
My name is Jessica, and I joined Building Blocks in January 2024. I previously worked in a Nursery setting for 1 year as an Early Years Educator. Caring for children aged from Babies to preschool. I am passionate about what I do, the things which are important to me are working as part of a team, being organised, having things in their places to provide an environment where the children are settled to access the activities and to enjoy themselves. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, dancing and cooking.
