Alison Berrie
Hi my name is Alison.
I started working in early years in 1991.
I have worked in Gartconner since 1997 so as of June this year, I will have spent half my life working here.
I work in the Butterfly room with the 2-3's which is a very nurturing role and very rewarding to see the children's progression before moving through to the 3-5's.
At the weekend I love to spend time with my Boston Terrier Buddy enjoying nice walks together.
