Nursery Manager
Amy Sharpe

Hi, my name is Amy and I am the Nursery Manager at Children 1st Shepshed Nursery.

I have been part of the team at Shepshed for the entirety of my 18 year childcare career, working my way from a baby room Nursery Nurse to being given the privilege of leading the team as the Manager 4 years ago. My wonderful team here are dedicated to providing the highest quality of care and education for our children, supporting them to reach their full potential.

Our beautiful building and extensive gardens provide us with an amazing space to support our children’s learning through their individual interests, sparking their imaginations and ensuring they have a fun-filled time with us.

I would be delighted to meet you and your family for a nursery tour to show what makes Children 1st Shepshed Nursery an amazing place to be.

Our Community

At Children 1st Shepshed, we love being part of a caring and connected community. Giving back is something we’re truly passionate about, which is why we’ve chosen to support Rainbows Children's Hospice. This is a cause that is especially close to our hearts, as we have experienced firsthand the invaluable support they provide to families facing unimaginable challenges.

Throughout the year, we’ll be getting together for lots of fundraising activities, from bake sales and dress-up days, to sponsored challenges. Together we can make a difference to such an important cause and inspire our children to grow with kindness and generosity. We can’t wait to see what we can achieve as a community! Keep an eye out for updates on our events and how you can get involved in supporting Rainbows Children's Hospice.
