Prima childcarer of the year
Teresa Lee, Sharnford Pre-school Playgroup, Sharnford, Leicestershire
Teresa first entered childcare in 1987 when she rescued a village playgroup from the threat of closure. Despite agreeing to be playgroup leader for just a short time, Teresa is still working there 17 years later.
By forging close links with the Sharnford local community, Teresa has ensured the playgroup has become a central part of village life, relied upon by parents and children. Teresa's policy is that every child who wishes should be able to attend her playgroup, and if parents are in financial difficulties fees will be waived. No child is ever turned away.
