Amber

Manager and Designated Safeguarding Lead

Hello, I'd like to take the opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Corrie and I have been incredibly lucky to call the woodland my place of work, since 2021 and am looking forward to rejoining the Brambles family as part of the Rushall team.

As a child I have memories of wearing wellingtons and shorts while running around the new forest, surrounded by all of the best things in life. Creating tipi's, fit for royalty and building my confidence climbing trees. My love for the great outdoors has been ingrained from a young age.

My journey into childcare took a little longer. I found my passion for supporting little people while on my travels in Australia. This experience set me on a path to gain my Early years level 3 on returning to the U.K. My most recent adventure has been Forest school, in 2020 after lockdown broke I set off socially distanced of course, to learn the Forest School way, and it blew my socks off. With this amazing approach, I hope to inspire children and adults alike through this beautiful way of learning through nature.

Deputy Manager and Deputy Safeguarding Lead Owls Family

Hi, I’m Amber and I started my childcare journey as an apprentice 5 years ago.

I absolutely love sharing my passion for the outdoors and nature with children, so being able to work in such a beautiful woodland setting is so magical and inspiring!

I have a working cocker spaniel called Ivy who joins me on all my adventures, from hiking mountains to camping trips around the country. In my spare time your often find me on my paddle board, running or helping my dad on our pheasant shoot.
I have been lucky enough to travel the east coast of Australia and I can’t wait to explore more of the world.

Senior Practitioner

Hi I’m Saffy and I have been working in childcare for 8 years, starting off as an apprentice at Brambles back in 2015! I have always had a real passion for child-initiated play and what a better way to do it than outdoors in the beautiful woodland. I also have a real interest into the SEN side of childcare and after creating a lovely home and bringing my daughter into the world, I am excited to get stuck back into this and rejoin Brambles at their amazing setting in Rushall.

Outside of work I love to spend all of my time with my little girl, who is also lucky enough to get the amazing Brambles experience from a young age! I love anything pamper and thoroughly enjoy a nice trip to the spa!

Abbie

Hi there. I’m Abbie and I’m a level 3 early years practitioner with a huge passion for Makaton. I love working with all the age groups at Brambles, getting to know each unique child and learning how best to support and help them to grow.

Since working in an outdoor nursery I have realised how important being outdoors is for me. It helps me to be the best version of myself and I think that’s the same for our little Bramblers too. Working in our woodland setting provides such an exciting environment, watching how it changes; providing incredible learning opportunities everyday.

At home, I love being with my beautiful family, playing games, doing yoga, canoeing, hiking, cooking and much much more.

Ella

Hi, my name's Ella, and I have been a practitioner at Brambles, Rushall since January 2024. I have a Level 3 BTEC in Children's Care, Learning and Development and I have been working with children, either in schools, or nannying for most of my adult life.

I enjoy creative activities, reading, writing, and music of almost any kind, and spending time with my family, especially my nephew and two nieces. Going for walks with our two dogs, or snuggling on the couch with the cat, dogs, or kids.

I love seeing and encouraging children to grow, and my favourite place to be is in a forest, so Brambles, Rushall is the perfect place for me.
I'm excited to see where my new adventure leads.
