Ashlea Brewin
Playworker @ Urmston Primary School

Bio

I have been working with children for 6 years, primarily as a dance teacher and sports coach but also in a childcare setting through charities and buddy programmes at school. It is this experience that provided me with the knowledge and confidence to work in our setting at School of Play.  My aim for the Children at School of Play, is that they feel they are in a safe, supportive, creative and most importantly fun space where they can experience new activities and develop skills that will continue to help them grow. I am passionate about being a positive role model in the lives of the children we teach and hopefully assisting them in getting the best out of their experience with us.

Aim

My aim for School of Play is to assist in providing an excellent childcare service, through interacting with the children and nurturing their skills through play and creativity. I am excited to get to develop in the company as it grows in the future.

Bio

I am a qualified dance and gymnastics coach and I have been working with children for the past four years. I have gained valuable experience through coaching and it has inspired me to provide support to children throughout their education and development, in fun and active ways.

Aim

My aim is to provide children with the means to be creative, active and overall have a great start to their future. I also want to provide a comfortable environment where they feel safe and able to express their thoughts and emotions freely.

Bio

I’m a mother to two girls, both who have attended Urmston Primary School and loved every minute! My passion is helping young people learn and develop through play. I have done some volunteering in a special educational needs primary school, alongside a teaching assistant qualification, which I found tremendously rewarding. I also have a huge interest in health and wellbeing, which I believe makes School of Play the perfect environment as we balance learning, creativity and play.

Aim

I aim to be a positive role model and encourage our children to thrive in an enriching environment, through play, teamwork and most importantly, fun! I am hugely excited and can’t wait to get started in my new role.

My aim is to support children in both their academic and personal learning experiences through reading, play and fun activities. I’m so excited to be a part of the School Of Play team where I can join in on giving children an amazing environment in which to flourish.
